– Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the
load. Load to the maximum recom-
mended for the programme selected.
– The washing times can vary consid-
erably due to the automatic load ad-
justment feature. Depending on the
amount of the load, the main wash
may be shortened and one rinse
omitted.
– Use the Mixed Wash poly/cottons
programme or the Quick Wash
programme for smaller amounts of
laundry.
– To save energy wash normally and
lightly soiled laundry at lower tem-
peratures. The 95°C Cottons
programme is probably only needed
in exceptional circumstances, e.g.
for oil based stains or where a very
hot wash is required.
– A main wash (programme without
pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor-
mally soiled laundry.
– By using the additional option "Soak"
for heavily soiled laundry you can se-
lect a lower temperature in the main
wash.
– Use the additional option "Soak" in-
stead of "Pre-wash" with heavily
soiled laundry.
If "Soak" is followed immediately by a
main wash the same suds are used.
– Use the "Short" wash option for nor-
mally or very lightly soiled laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent which may be recommended by
the manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amounts of detergent
with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half
load, approx. one third less deter-
gent).
– Select the highest suitable spin
speed in the wash programme when
tumble drying afterwards.
