Washing environmentally and economically
– To get the most out of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the pro-
gramme you are using.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load recognition
system will reduce the amount of water
and energy used.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents enable washing at
reduced temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Use
appropriate temperature settings for
saving energy.
– For precise dispensing, use automatic
detergent dispensing.
– Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
