Protection of the environment / hints and 

tips

Your washer-dryer uses water, energy and detergent 
efficiently, thereby protecting the environment and 
reducing your household costs. For consumption 
values of your appliance see page 51. 

Hints and tips

Using your washer-dryer in an efficient and 
environmentally friendly manner: 

Take advantage of recommended load quantity.

With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust 

reduces the water and energy consumption. 

Select the 

Cottons Eco 

 60 °C

 with 

Intensive

 

È

 

programme instead of 

Cottons 

ic

 90°C

. The

longer washing time in this 60 °C programme 
means that the cleaning effects are comparable 
with those of a 90 °C programme, although the 
power consumption is considerably lower. 

Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled 
washing. 

Add detergent according to the degree of soiling, 
amount of laundry and water hardness, and 
observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions. 

If washing is then to be dried in the appliance, 
select the higher spin speed - because the more 
water that is spun out of the appliance, the less 
time and energy is required to dry it, and get a 
good drying performance. In case of cotton, 

1000rpm spin speed is recommended; in case of 

easycare, 800rpm spin speed is recommended.
