2 Environmental Tips
•You do not need to use a pre wash cycle or soak for washing with av-
erage soiling. This saves detergent, water and time (and protects the
environment).
•When loaded to the capacities indicated the washing machine is es-
pecially efficient.
•For small loads, use only one half to two thirds of the recommended
quantity of detergent.
•By pre-treating stains and marks you will be able to wash at a lower
temperature.
•It is often possible to wash without using softener. Give it a try! If
you use a drier, your washing will be soft and fluffy even without a
softener.
•For medium to high water hardness (from hardness range II, see “De-
tergents and Conditioners”) you should use water softener. The
detergent can then always be dosed as for hardness range I (=soft).
