Tips for environmental protection

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.
