Detergent Recommendation

Recommended washing detergent	Wash cycles	Washing temp.	Type of laundry and textile
Heavy-duty detergent with bleaching agents and optical brighteners	Cotton, ECO 40-60	30/40/60	White laundry made from temperature resistant cotton or linen
Colour detergent without bleaching agents or optical brighteners	Cotton, ECO40-60, Cold Wash	Cold /20/30 /40	Coloured laundry made from cotton or linen
Colour or mild detergent without optical brighteners	Cold Wash, Synthetic	Cold/20/40	Coloured laundry made from easy care fibres or synthetic materials
Mild washing detergent	Synthetic	Cold/40	Delicate textiles, silk, viscose

Note!

• Lumpy detergent or additives can be diluted in some water before pouring them into the detergent dispenser, to avoid blocking the inlet and thus cause water overflow.
• Please choose the most suitable type of detergent for the best washing results with minimal water and energy consumption
• Detergent dosing is key to achieving the best cleaning results.
• Use a smaller amount of detergent if the drum is not filled completely.
• Always adjust the amount of detergent to the water hardness: if your tap water is soft, use less detergent.
• Adjust the amount of detergent to how dirty your laundry is: less dirty clothes require less detergent.
• Highly concentrated (compact detergent) requires particular care when selecting the amount of detergent.

The following symptoms are a sign of an excessive amount of detergent:

• heavy foam formation
• poor washing and rinsing

The following symptoms are a sign of lack of detergent:

• laundry turns grey
• limescale deposits on the drum, the heating element and/or the laundry

Note!

- The parameters in this table are for reference only. The actual parameters may be different from those in the table mentioned above.

1. The highest temperature reached by the laundry during the wash cycle for at least 5 minutes.
2. Residual moisture after the wash cycle, in water content percent, and the spin speed at which this was achieved.
3. The ECO 40-60 program is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, in the same cycle. This program is used to assess compliance with EU regulation 2019/2023.

The most efficient programs in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures over a longer period of time.

Loading the household washing machine up to the capacity indicated for the respective programs will lead to energy and water savings.

Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed during the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

Caution!

- If there is any drop in the power supply while the machine is

operating, a special memory stores the selected program. The machine will continue the program when the power supply is re-established.

Programs vary by laundry type.

Program
Synthetic	Wash synthetic items, for example: shirts, coats, and blended items. While washing knitted textiles, detergent quantity must be reduced due to their loose string construction and propensity to forming bubbles.
Delicate	For delicate, washable textiles, e.g., made of silk, satin, synthetic fibres or blended fabrics.
Drum Clean	Sterilizes the drum at 90 °C to make clothes washing greener. This program is not intended to wash clothes or other washing, which must not be added. When the proper amount of chlorine bleaching agent is added, the drum cleaning effect will be optimal. This programme can be used as regularly as required.
Spin Only Extra spin	with selectable spin speed.
Rinse&Spin Extra rinse with spin.
Drain Only Drains off the water.
Quick Wash15'	Suitable for quickly washing a small number of relatively clean clothes.
Cotton Intensive Increased washing time for increased cleaning.
ECO 40-60	Default 40 °C, not selectable, suitable for laundry washing at about 40 °C -60 °C.
Cold Wash Washes	clothes with cold water.
Cotton	Hard-wearing textiles, heat-resistant textiles made of cotton or linen.
Ends in	This function delays start time by 3h, 6h or 9h, and sets the total washing time.
