Protection of the environment/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of

laundry for the relevant programme.

– Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.
– The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the

textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this
so that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing
results.

– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's

instructions and water hardness.

– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin

speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
