tips
Your washing machine uses water, energy and
detergent efficiently, thereby protecting the
environment and reducing your household costs. See
page 32 for consumption values of your appliance.
Hints and tips Using your washing machine in an efficient and
environmentally friendly manner:
■Do not exceed maximum load.
With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust
reduces the water and energy consumption.
■Where possibe, select the Cotton 60°C with
additional function Intensive Èprogramme
instead of Cottons 90°C TPrewash.The
cleaning effects of this 60°C programme are com-
parable with those of a 90°C programme, although
the power consumption is considerably lower.
■Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled
washing.
■Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,
amount of laundry and water hardness, and
observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
