Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that
you follow these tips:
•Normally 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.
•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.
