tips
Your washing machine uses water, energy and
detergent efficiently, thereby protecting the
environment and reducing your household costs. See
page 36 for consumption values of your appliance.
Hints and tips
Using your washing machine in an efficient and
environmentally friendly manner:
■
Do not exceed maximum load.
With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust
reduces the water and energy consumption.
■
Where possibe, select the
Cotton Hygiene
;
with
setting
60°C
programme instead of
Cotton
Pre-
wash
T
with setting
90°C
programme. The longer
washing time in this 60°C programme means that
the cleaning effects are comparable with those of a
90°C programme, although the power consump-
tion is considerably lower.
■
Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled
washing.
■
Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,
amount of laundry and water hardness, and
observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
