Washing environmentally and economically

–Water consumption and energy us- age are determined by the size of the load. Load to the maximum recom- mended for the programme selected.

–Programme durations can vary con- siderably due to the automatic load adjustment feature. Depending on the amount of laundry, the main wash may be shortened and one rinse omitted.

–Use the Mixed Wash programme or the Quick Wash programme for smaller amounts of laundry.

–To save energy wash normally and lightly soiled laundry at lower tem- peratures. The 95°C Cottons programme is probably only needed in exceptional circumstances, e.g. for oil based stains or where a very hot wash is required.

–A main wash (programme without pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor- mally soiled laundry.

–By using the additional option Soak for heavily soiled laundry you can se- lect a lower temperature in the main wash.

–Use the additional option Soak in- stead of Pre-washwith heavily soiled laundry.

If Soak is followed immediately by a main wash the same suds are used.

–Use the Short wash option for nor- mally or very lightly soiled laundry.

–Do not exceed the amounts of deter- gent which may be recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

–Reduce the amounts of detergent with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half load, approx. one third less deter- gent).

–Select the highest suitable spin speed in the wash programme when tumble drying afterwards.
