Energy and water consumption
–To make the most out of each wash
load, load the maximum dry weight
for the program you have selected.
–Use the Colours and Express
programs for small loads.
–When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed using the Normal program,
the automatic load recognition
system will automatically reduce the
water, energy, and time for that load.
This may cause a correction in the
remaining time displayed for the
wash.
– Using the Normal 60°C program
instead of the Normal 95°C program
will result in energy savings of 35%
to 45%. This setting is quite sufficient
for most levels of soiling.
– To save energy, all wash programs
with a temperature setting of 40°C or
above will draw from the hot water
supply. The only exception is the
Wool program, which protects
garments by avoiding the use of hot
water.
Detergent consumption
–Do not exceed the maximum
detergent dose listed on the
package.
–Adjust the detergent dose to suit how
soiled the laundry is.
–For smaller loads, reduce the amount
(approx. 1/3less detergent for a half
load).
Choosing the right extra options
(Short and Pre-wash)
Select:
– a wash program together with the
Short option for lightly soiled items
with no obvious staining
– a wash program with NO extra
options for moderate to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– The Heavy Soil extra option for
laundry with large amounts of dirt
(e.g., dust, sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
To help save energy when using a
dryer, select the highest possible spin
speed for the wash program in
question.
