fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– With a small load, use the Timed programme.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine a the higher the spin speed, the
shorter the drying time will be, thus less energy is consumed.
Also spin easy-care laundry.
