Ecological hints

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.
