Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
– Use the
Automatic
or the
Quick
wash programmes for small loads.
– If smaller loads are washed using the
Cottons
programmes, the automatic
load recognition system will reduce
the amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the
programme duration is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Instead of using Cottons 95°C , use
Cottons 60°C and select the
Intensive Extra. This will give an
energy saving of between 35% and
45%. The programme duration will
be longer. This combination is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soak Extra.
Detergent
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads. Use the Load/
Detergent
button.
Choosing the correct Extra:
Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive
Select:
A wash programme without any
Extras for light to normal soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
A wash programme with the
Intensive Extra for normal to heavily
soiled laundry with visible staining.
– Use the Soak Extra instead of Pre-
wash . If Soak is followed immediately
by a main wash the same suds are
used.
When drying with a tumble dryer
– Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
