Ecological hints
To
save water, energy and to help protect
the environment, we recommend that
you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be
washed without prewashing in order
to save detergent, water and time
(the environment is protected too!).
• The machine works more
economically if it is fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains
and limited soiling can be removed;
the laundry can then be washed at a
lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to
the water hardness, the degree of
soiling and the quantity of laundry
being washed.
