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 prewash.
– Instead of the
Cottons
LF
90 °C
programme, select
Cottons Eco
60 °C
and the
(Intensive)
additional function.
The cleaning result will be comparable, but energy consumption
will be significantly lower.
– Dose the detergent according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is to be subsequently dried in a tumble dryer, select
a spin speed as specified by the dryer manufacturer.
Preparation
