Environmental protection/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of 

laundry for the relevant programme.

– Wash normally soiled washing without a pre-wash.
– 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 then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin 

speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
