Environmental protection/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of 

laundry for the particular programme.

– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
– The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the 

textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from 
this so that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and 
washing results.

– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's 

instructions and water hardness.

– If the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble drier, select the 

spin speed according to the tumble drier manufacturer's 
instructions.
