Protection of the environment / hints and
tips
Your washing machine uses water, energy and
detergent efficiently, thereby protecting the
environment and reducing your household costs. See
page 30 for consumption values of your appliance.
Hints and tips Using your washing machine in an efficient and
environmentally friendly manner:
■Do not exceed maximum load.
With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust
reduces the water and energy consumption.
■Where possibe, select the "Cottons 60°C"with
additional function "Intensive È" programme
instead of "Cottons 90°C T + Prewash ". The
longer washing time in this 60°C programme
means that the cleaning effects are comparable
with those of a 90°C programme, although the
power consumption is considerably lower.
■Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled
washing.
■Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,
amount of laundry and water hardness, and
observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
