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.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water and energy used.
– Use the
Express
programme for
small loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g
20°C
). Washing using lower
temperature settings will save
energy.
– Use the
Soak
additional option
instead of
Pre-wash
. If Soak is
followed immediately by a main
wash, the same suds are used.
Detergent
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx.
1
/
3
less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct additional
options (Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short
option for light to normal soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
– A wash programme without any
additional options for normal to
heavy soiling with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak
option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– The
Pre-wash
additional option for
laundry with large amounts of dirt
(e.g. dust, sand).
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.
