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 prewash.
– 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 you want to dry the laundry in the tumble dryer afterwards, select a spin speed
suggested by the dryer manufacturer.
