Protection of the environment/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machin e with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry w ithout a prewash.
– Instead of Cottons/Coloureds 90 °C, select Eco 60 °C and the
Intensive Wash additional function. Comparable cleaning result
with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent acco rding to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the
appropriate spin speed according to the instructions of the dryer
manufacturer
.
