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!).
• Use the energy saving programme when washing
normally soiled garments.
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded (for both washing and drying cycles).
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two
thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
• 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.
• If the water has a medium or high degree of
hardness (starting from degree of hardness II, see
“Detergents and additives”) water softeners must
be added.
The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to
degree of hardness I (= soft).
