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 amount
for the programme you are using.
– Use the
Automatic plus
and
Express
20
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.
– Using the
Cottons 60°C
programme
instead of the
Cottons 95°C
programme will give energy savings
of between 35% and 45%. This is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old soiling use the
Soak
extra option.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
washer-dryer, carry out a hot wash
(60°C or above) using powder
detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene Info
message will appear in
the display to remind you to carry out
a hot wash.
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
(Pre-wash, Soak, 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.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak
extra option for very heavily
soiled laundry.
– The
Pre-wash
extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
When drying straight after washing
Select a high spin speed for the wash
programme, as well as for the
Thermospin to save time and energy.
