Conservation |
Issues |
|
|
Your washing |
machine uses water, energy and dete |
||
gent efficiently, |
thereby protecting the environment |
||
and |
reducing |
your |
household costs. See Page 36 fo |
consumption values |
of your appliance. |
||
Using your washing machine in an efficient and en ronmentally friendly manner:
q Do not exceed recommended load. |

use the60 °C |

programme instead |
of 90the°C |

programme. The |
extended |
washing time achieves |

a cleaning result |
comparable |
to that of °theC 90 |
||||
programme, but |
uses considerably less energy. |

q Avoid using the Prewash programme when washing lightly to normally soiled laundry.
q Add detergent according to the degree of soiling amount of laundry and water hardness, and ob3 serve the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
