Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your
old appliance. Help to keep your
country tidy!
To save water, energy and to help
protect the environment, we
recommend that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewashing in order
to save detergent, water and time
(the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more
economically if it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to
the water hardness, the degree of
soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
• The machine will consume less
energy if the laundry is adequately
spun before being dried.
