Washing environmentally and economically
18
Energy and water consumption
– To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the
programme you are using.
The energy and water consumption
will be the lowest in relation to the
size of the load.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the Auto load control system
will reduce the amount of water and
energy used.
– Use the Express20 programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature
settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
machine, carry out a hot wash (above
60°C) at regular intervals. The
indicator will come on to remind you
to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent consumption
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx. ⅓ less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– a wash programme together with the
Short Extra option for light to
moderate soiling where there are no
obvious marks.
– a wash programme without any Extra
options for moderate to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– a wash programme together with the
Soak Extra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– the Pre-wash Extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
