Environmental Protection /
Conservation Issues
Through the economical use of energy, water and
detergents, your appliance is ind to the environment
as well as your household budget. The consumption
rates of this appliance can be found on Page 39.
Please observe the following in order to wash your
laundry in an economical and environmentally friendly
manner:
-Do not exceed the maximum load specifications:
Cottons/coloureds 5,0 g
EasyĆcare 2.0 g
Delicate and Wool 2.0 g
For small amounts of laundry, the automatic water
level control system reduces the consumption of
both water and energy.
-Where possible, use the 60 °C Intensive/Stains"
programme instead of the 90 °C Cottons/
coloureds" programme. The extended washing
duration means that a cleaning result comparable
to that of the 90 °C programme is achieved using
considerably less energy.
-Avoid using the Prewash programme when
washing lightly to normally soiled laundry.
-Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,
amount of laundry and water hardness, and
observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
