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 36 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 Cotton Hygiene ;with

setting 60°C programme instead of Cotton Pre-

wash Twith setting 90°C programme. 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 consump-

tion 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.
