Environmental protection/Conservation ti ps
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Instead of Koge-/kulørtvask (Cottons) 90 °C, choose the
programme Koge-/kulørtvask (Cottons)c60 °C Intensiv
(Intensive). Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
