1.4. Protection of the environment
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to achieve savings in water and energy and therefore to contribute to protection of the environment:
•If possible, use the washing machine at full capacity rather than with partial loads (however, do not overload the drum).
•Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.
•Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «propor- tioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing and how dirty it is.
