Ecological hints

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

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the nvironment 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..

To utilize the maximum load, laundry which is tobe dried ready to put away (store dry) can be dried together with items to be ironed. To do this, select the programme for iron-dry, remove the iron-dry items at the end of the programme and then finish-dry the rest of the load.

Clean the filters regularly to avoid excessive drying times and high electricity consumption.

Ventilate the room well. The room temperature should not exceed +35°C during.
