Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

•Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

•The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

•With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

•Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.
