Maximise The Load Size

Do you need to pre-wash?
For heavily soiled laundry only!

SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry.

reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. Save up to 50% energy by using a 60°C wash programme.
Before using a drying programme
!
SAVE energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.
Following is a quick guide with tips and recommendations on detergent use at the various temperatures. In any case, always read the instructions on the detergent for correct use and doses.
When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a
normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
For washes between 40°C and 60°C the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for “white” or colour fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or “colour protecting” powders are suitable for coloured fabrics with light levels of soiling.
For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid
detergents or detergents specifically labeled as suitable for low temperature washing.
For washing wool or silk, only use detergents specifically formulated for these fabrics.
