Environmental protection/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the particular programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
– The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the
textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so
that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing
results
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble drier, select the
spin speed according to the tumble drier manufacturer's
instructions
.
