type and dispose of them separ-ately
32 Save energy and con-serve resources
If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation

tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric

32 Save energy and con-serve resources
If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation

tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric

If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation

type and dispose of them separ-ately
32 Save energy and con-serve resources
If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation

32 Save energy and con-serve resources
If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation

If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation

The appliance is secured for trans-portation using transit bolts Transitbolts which have not been removedmay result in material damage anddamage to the appliance Before starting up the appliance
remove the transit bolts completelyand keep them in a safe place
Before transport fit the transit boltsfully in order to prevent damage intransit
Material damage may be caused ifthe water inlet hose is connected in-correctly Tighten the screw connections on
the water inlet until they are hand-tight
Ideally connect the water inlethose directly to the water tapwithout any additional connectingelements such as adapters exten-sions valves or similar
Ensure that the inner diameter ofthe water tap is at least 17 mm
Make sure that the length of thethread on the connection to thewater tap is at least 10 mm
If the water pressure is too high ortoo low the appliance may not beable to operate properly Ensure that the water pressure in
the water supply system is at least100 kPa (1 bar) and max1000 kPa (10 bar)
If the water pressure exceeds themaximum value specified a pres-sure-reducing valve must be in-stalled between the drinking waterconnection and the hose set of theappliance
Do not connect the appliance tothe mixer tap of an unpressurisedhot-water boiler
Modified or damaged water hosesmay result in material damage anddamage to the appliance Never kink crush modify or cut
through water hoses Only use the water hoses supplied
with the appliance or genuinespare hoses
Never re-use water hoses thathave been used before
Operating the appliance using waterthat is dirty or too hot may cause ma-terial damage Only operate the appliance with

If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation

Environmental protection and saving energy
31 Disposing of packagingThe packaging materials are environ-mentally compatible and can be re-cycled Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-ately
32 Save energy and con-serve resources
If you follow these instructions yourappliance will use less electricity andless water
Choose programmes with low tem-peratures and longer wash times anduse maximum load capacityrarr Page 24a Energy consumption and water
consumption is most efficient
Use the economy programme set-tingsa If you adjust the programme set-
tings for a programme the displayshows the expected consumption
Add rarr Page 35 detergent based onthe laundrys degree of soilinga For light to normal soiling a smal-
ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer
Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundrya At low temperatures the appliance
consumes less energy For light tonormal soiling lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient
Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwardsa The drier the laundry the shorter
the programme duration when dry-ing which in turn reduces energyconsumption A higher spin speedreduces the residual moisture inthe laundry and increases thevolume of the spin noise
Wash the laundry without prewasha Washing with prewash increases
the programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption
The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment functiona Depending on the type of fabric
and load capacity the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation
33 Energy saving modeIf you do not use the appliance for anextended period it automaticallyswitches to energy-saving mode Alldisplays go out and InicioPausa +Carga flashesEnergy-saving mode ends when youuse the appliance again eg if youopen or close the door
