Environmental protection/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled washing without a pre-wash (
model-
dependent
).
– Instead of
Cottons 90 °C,
choose the programme
Cottons Intensive Stains 60 °C
. Comparable cleaning result
with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer
(
model-dependent
).
