Environmental protection/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of laundry for 

the particular programme.

– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
– The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the textiles. 

The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so that you get 
the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing results.

– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions 

and water hardness.

If the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble drier, select the spin 
speed according to the tumble drier manufacturer's instructions.
