Protection of the environment/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of 

laundry for the relevant programme.

– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.

instructions and water hardness.

– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the 

appropriate spin speed according to the instructions of the dryer 
manufacturer
