Energy and water consumption
–
Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
–
Use the Automatic and Express
programmes for small loads.
–
When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed using the Cottons hygiene
and Cottons programmes, the auto
-
matic load recognition system will
reduce the amount of water, time
and energy used. This may mean
that the time left shown in the display
is adjusted during the course of the
wash programme.
– Using the Cottons 60°C programme
instead of the Cottons 95°C
programme will give energy savings
of between 35% and 45%. This is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
Detergent
–
Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
–
Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
–
Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx.
1
/
3
less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct extra option
(Short and Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short extra option for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
– A wash programme without any extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– The Pre-wash extra option for laundry
with large amounts of dirt (e.g. dust,
sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
