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.
