Protection of the environment/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant pr ogramme.
– Wash normally s oiled laundry without a pre-w ash.
– Instead of Cottons LF90 °C, choose th e programme
Cottons LF60 °C with the additional func tion EcoPerfect j.
Comparable cleaning result was significantly lower e nergy
consumption.
– Measure the d etergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness .
– If the la undry is then dried in the tumble drye r, select spin speed
according to instructions of dryer manufacturer.

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 Cottons LF90 °C, choose the programme
Cottons LF60 °C with the additional function EcoPerfect j.
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.
