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 (for both washing and drying cycles).

• The machine will consume less energy if the

laundry is 

adequately spun

before being dried.

• 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.
