Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your ap-
pliance will use less electricity and less
water.
Use the Eco 50° programme.
The Eco 50° programme is energy ef-
ficient and environmentally friendly.
AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring
device (light barrier) which measures
the turbidity of the washing water. You
can save water with the AquaSensor.
Use of the AquaSensor depends on the
programme. If the soiling level is low,
the washing water is used in the next
wash cycle, allowing water consumption
to be reduced by 3-6 litres. If the soiling
level is is higher, the washing water is
drained off and replaced with fresh wa-
ter. In the automatic programmes the
temperature and running time are addi-
tionally adjusted to the level of soiling.
