Saving energy and respecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly technology

If you only see a little water through your appliance door, this is because thanks to the latest technology, your washing machine only needs less than half the amount of water to get the best results: an objective reached to respect the environment.

Saving on detergent, water, energy and time

• To avoid wasting resources, the washing machine should be used with a full load. A full load instead of two half loads allows you to save up to 50% on energy.

• The pre-wash cycle is only necessary on extremely soiled garments. Avoiding it will save on detergent, time, water and between 5 and 15% energy.

• Treating stains with a stain remover or leaving					.
them to soak before washing will cut down the
need to wash them at high temperatures. A			.

• Use the correct quantity of detergent depending
on the water hardness, how soiled t e garments
are and the amount of laundry you have, to avoid
wastage and to protect the envi onment: despite
being biodegradable, detergents do contain
ingredients that alter the natural balance of the
mikosoft
environment. In addition, avoid using fabric

softener as much as p ssible.

• If you use your washing machine from late in the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, you will help reduce the electricity board's peak load. The Delay Timer option (see page 7) helps to organise your wash cycles accordingly.

• If your laundry has to be dried in a tumble dryer, select a high spin speed. Having the least water possible in your laundry will save you time and energy in the drying process.
