Tips for environmental protection

Lightly 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.

When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the rec- ommended amount of detergent.

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

Try not to use fabric softeners. If the laundry is machine dried, it will remain soft even without using fabric softeners.

If the water has a medium or high degree of hardness (starting from degree of hardness II, see “Detergents and additives”) water softeners must be added.

The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).
