Environmental

protection / notes on saving

The most economical and environment0 friendly way of washing and drying is to use the maximum machine load for each

function:
For washing:
Cottons /	coloureds	5	kg
Easy0care	and wool	2	kg
For drying:
Cottons /	coloureds	2.5	kg
Easy0care		2 kg

How to save energy:

Use economy wash programmes more frequently. For this purpose, select a lower temperature such as, for example,° 60

instead	of 90°C for Cottons / Coloureds, or
30 or	40° for Easy0care instead of°C,60

followed by pressing the Super Wash button.

The Super Wash programmes, while achieving cleaning results that are comparable with a those of a programme using a higher temperature, utilise a longer wash cycle and substantially reduced energy consumption.

How to save water, energy, and detergent:

Do not Pre Wash lightly to normally soiled washing.

How to save detergent:

Measure detergent quantities according to water hardness, degree of soiling, and amount of laundry, and follow instructions on the detergent package.
