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 a pre-wash.
– Instead of algod. (Cottons)90 °C, choose the programme
algod. (Cottons) 60 °C with the additional function + eco 1.
Comparable cleaning result was significantly lower energy
consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select spin speed
according to instructions of dryer manufacturer.
