Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
–Water consumption and energy us‐ age are determined by the size of the load.
To make the most of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the programme you are using.
–When smaller amounts of laundry are washed, the automatic load recogni‐ tion system will reduce the amount of water and energy used.
–Use the Express 20 programme for small, lightly soiled loads.
–Modern detergents make it possible to wash at lower temperatures (e.g. 20°C). Washing using lower tempera‐ ture settings will save energy.
–To maintain the hygiene of the ma‐ chine, carry out a hot wash (60°C or above) using powder detergent at regular intervals. Hygiene info will ap‐ pear in the display to remind you to carry out a hot wash.
Detergent
–For precise dispensing use automatic detergent dispensing.
–Adjust the dosage to the degree of soiling of the laundry.
–Do not exceed the amounts of deter‐ gent recommended by the manufac‐ turer on the packaging.
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin speed for the wash programme will save energy when drying in a tumble dryer afterwards.
