 button.
 ĺIf applicable, remove the used capsule 
from the detergent dispenser drawer. 
Close the door. Otherwise there is 
a danger of objects being placed 
inadvertently in the drum. If these remain 
unnoticed and were washed in the next 
load, they could damage the laundry. An 
open door is also a danger to pets and 
children.
Extras
You can use the Extras sensor to 
augment the wash programmes.
Quick
The programme duration is reduced. 
Mechanical action and energy usage 
are increased.
Eco
The Eco Extra helps to save energy. 
The wash temperature is reduced and 
the wash duration is increased in return. 
The wash programme continues to 
provide excellent results.
Water plus
The water level in the wash and rinse 
stages is increased. You can select by 
how much the water level is increased 
(see "Settings - Water plus level").
Extra rinse
An additional rinse cycle can be carried 
out to give a better rinse result.
SingleWash
For efficiently washing a very small load 
(<1kg) in a normal wash programme. 
The wash duration is reduced.
Please note the following advice:
 –Use liquid detergent
 –Reduce the dosage to a maximum of 
50% of the amount quoted for a ½ 
load
Pre-ironing
In order to reduce creasing, the laundry 
undergoes a smoothing process at the 
end of the programme. Reducing the 
maximum load by 50% will give a better 
result. Follow the instructions in the 
display. Small loads give a better result.
The garments must be suitable for 
drying in a tumble dryer    and  
suitable for ironing   .
Pre-wash
For laundry with large amounts of dirt, e.g. 
dust and sand.
Soak
For heavily soiled and stained items with 
protein stains.
A duration of between 30minutes 
and 6hours can be chosen for the 
soak process. See "Settings" for more 
information.
The factory default setting is 30minutes.
Intensive
For hard-wearing laundry that is very 
heavily soiled. Cleaning efficiency 
is increased through more intense 
mechanical action and the application of 
more heat energy.
AllergoWash
This option should be used where high 
standards of hygiene are required. More 
energy is used to lengthen temperature 
holding times and more water is used to 
increase rinsing efficiency. The items must 
be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer  
  . and suitable for ironing 
Extra gentle
Drum rotation and wash duration are 
reduced. Lightly soiled fabrics are washed 
more gently.
Extra quiet
This option reduces noise levels during 
the wash programme. Use this if you 
want to wash during quiet periods (for 
instance, when children are sleeping). The 
final spin is automatically reduced to   
(Rinse hold). The programme duration is 
increased.
Rinse hold
The laundry is not spun after the final rinse 
and remains in the rinse water. This helps 
prevent creasing if the laundry is not going 
to be removed from the drum immediately 
after the end of the programme.
