Washing environmentally and economically
22
Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the
load.
To make the most of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the
programme you are using.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load recogni-
tion system will reduce the amount of
water and energy used.
– Use the
Express 20
programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20 °C
). Washing using lower temper-
ature settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the ma-
chine, carry out a hot wash (60 °C or
above) using powder detergent at
regular intervals.
Hygiene info
will ap-
pear in the display to remind you to
carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
– For precise dispensing use automatic
detergent dispensing.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer on the packaging.
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
