– Water consumption and energy us-

age are determined by the size of the
load. Load to the maximum recom-
mended for the programme selected.

– Programme durations can vary con-

siderably due to the automatic load
adjustment feature. Depending on
the amount of laundry, the main wash
may be shortened and one rinse
omitted.

– Use the

Mixed Wash

programme or

the

Quick Wash

programme for

smaller amounts of laundry.

– To save energy wash normally and

lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-
peratures. The 95°C Cottons
programme is probably only needed
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.
for oil based stains or where a very
hot wash is required.

– A main wash (programme without

pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor-
mally soiled laundry.

– By using the additional option

Soak

for heavily soiled laundry you can se-
lect a lower temperature in the main
wash.

– Use the additional option

Soak

in-

stead of

Pre-wash

with heavily soiled

laundry.
If

Soak

is followed immediately by a

main wash the same suds are used.

– Use the

Short

wash option for nor-

mally or very lightly soiled laundry.

– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-

gent which may be recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.

– Reduce the amounts of detergent

with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half
load, approx. one third less deter-
gent).

– Select the highest suitable spin

speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
