CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Environmental and Economical Tips
Energy and water consumption
•Water consumption and energy usage can be affected by the weight of the load. To make the best use of your appliance, load the maximum amount of dry clothes for the particular programme.
•The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
•Noiseandremainingmoisturecontentareinfluencedbythespinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
•Evenly loading laundry up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to energy and water savings.
•For washing smaller amounts of clothes, the automatic load recognition system will help reduce the amount of water and energy usage.
•Use the Speed programme for small, lightly soiled loads.
•Cold water laundry detergents can be as effective at lower temperatures (about 20 ). Using 20 settings will use less energy than 30 or higher temperatures.
global_main.book.book Page 9 Tuesday, September 15, 2020 1:21 PM
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 9
Detergent
• Detergent should be chosen according to type, colour, soiling of the fabricandthewashingtemperature. Andit shouldbe usedaccording to the instruction of the detergent manufacturer. Use only detergents that are suitable for Drum (front load) type washers.
•Use less detergent on smaller loads.
-Partial load: 1/2 of the normal amount.
-Minimum load: 1/3 of full load.
Selecting Extra Options and Functions
•Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric care labels for best results.
•The Pre Wash option is recommended for washing a heavily soiled load.
When Using a Dry Programme
•To save energy, choose the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme when drying in a tumble dryer.
•For most drying, make sure all clothes are similar in material and thickness.
•When you select drying only, spinning runs automatically for energy efficiency.
