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
and
Express
programmes for small loads.
– When smaller amounts of laundry 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 time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Instead of using the Cottons 95°C
programme, use the Cottons 60°C
programme. This will give an energy
saving of between 35% and 45%.
This is sufficient for most levels of
soiling. For stubborn or old stains,
use the
Soak
extra option.
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 option
(Soak, Pre-wash, Short)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
– Use the Soak extra option instead of
Pre-wash . If Soak is followed immedi-
ately 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.
