Extra options

Extra options
You can supplement the wash programs with extra options.

SingleWash For efficiently washing a very small load (< 2.2 lb / 1 kg) in a normal wash program. The wash duration is reduced. Please note the following advice: Important When adding detergent manually, only use liquid detergent and use the proper amount.Use a maximum of 50% of the specified amount of detergent for ½ load. Chlorination is not possible.

Eco The Economy extra option helps to save energy. The wash temperature is reduced and the wash duration is increased in return. The wash program continues to provide a deep clean.

SoftSteam In order to reduce creasing, the laundry undergoes a smoothing process at the end of the program. Reducing the maximum load by 50% will give a better result. Please note the load information in the display. Small loads give a better result.

The garments must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer   and suitable for ironing  .

Gentle Drum rotation and wash duration are reduced. Lightly soiled fabrics are washed more gently.
Pre-wash For laundry with large amounts of dirt, e.g. dust and sand. Pre-wash and chlorination is not possible. The chlorine bleach is added too early.
Only liquid detergent may be added to the  chamber of the detergent drawer. Powder detergent clogs up the  chamber and water can escape from the detergent drawer.
Soak For heavily soiled fabrics with protein stains. A duration of between 30 minutes and 6 hours can be selected for the soak process. See "Settings" for more information. The factory default setting is 30 minutes.
ExtraRinse An extra rinse can be activated to achieve a better wash result.
AllergoWash This option should be used where high standards of hygiene are required. Energy consumption is increased to lengthen temperature holding times and water consumption is increased to improve rinsing efficiency. The items must be suitable for drying in a tumble dryer   and suitable for ironing  . 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 washing machine immediately after the end of the program.
