Basic washing tips
– Dose detergent according to how dirty
your laundry is. Laundry that is less dirty
requires less detergent.
– Highly concentrated detergent (also known
as compact detergent) in particular re-
quires accurate dosage. Even minor differ-
ences can have significant effects.
The following wash results are a sign of incor-
rect dosage of detergent.
Too much detergent:
– Heavy foam formation
– Poor washing and rinsing result
– Skin irritation caused by leftover detergent
in the clothing
Not enough detergent
– Laundry turns grey
– “Grease marks” (grey clumps of grease
and dirt) on laundry
– Build-up of limescale deposits in the drum,
heating elements and/or laundry
Environmentally friendly
washing
– The most efficient cycles with regard to
energy and water consumption are gener-
ally those with a longer duration and lower
temperatures.
– The ECO 40–60 and 20 °C cycles are ef-
ficient in terms of combined energy and
water consumption:
– The ECO 40–60 cycle is suitable for
cleaning normally soiled laundry that
is declared to be washable at 40 °C or
60 °C and that can be washed together.
– The 20 °C cycle is suitable for cleaning
lightly soiled laundry that can be washed
at a nominal temperature of 20 °C.
– You can save energy and water if you use
the specified maximum amount of laundry.
