Washing environmentally and economically

Water consumption and energy us- age are determined by the size of the load. Load to the maximum recom- mended for the programme selected.

The washing times can vary consid- erably due to the automatic load ad- justment feature. Depending on the amount of the load, the main wash may be shortened and one rinse omitted.

Use the Mixed Wash poly/cottons programme or the Quick Wash programme for smaller amounts of laundry.

To save energy wash normally and lightly soiled laundry at lower tem- peratures. The 95°C Cottons programme is probably only needed in exceptional circumstances, e.g. for oil based stains or where a very hot wash is required.

A main wash (programme without pre-wash) is sufficient to clean nor- mally soiled laundry.

By using the additional option Soak for heavily soiled laundry you can se- lect a lower temperature in the main wash.

Use the additional option Soak in- stead of Pre-washwith heavily soiled laundry.

If Soak is followed immediately by a main wash the same suds are used.

Use the Short wash option for nor- mally or very lightly soiled laundry.

Do not exceed the amounts of deter- gent which may be recommended by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Reduce the amounts of detergent with smaller loads, (e.g. with a half load, approx. one third less deter- gent).

Select the highest suitable spin speed in the wash programme when tumble drying afterwards.
