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
Quick wash
programmes for small loads.
–
If smaller loads are washed using the
Cottons Hygiene
and the
Cottons
Universal
programmes, the automat
-
ic 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.
– Instead of using
Cottons Hygiene
95°
, use
Cottons Universal 60°
and
select the Extra option
Intensive
. This
will give an energy saving of
between 35% and 45%. The
programme duration will be longer.
This combination is sufficient for
most levels of soiling. For stubborn
or old stains, use the Extra option
Soak
.
Detergent
–
Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
–
Reduce the amount of detergent for
smaller loads (use the Detergent
sub-menu).
Choosing the correct Extra options
(Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive)
Select:
a wash programme without any Extra
options for light to normal soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
a wash programme with the Extra
option
Intensive
for normal to heavily
soiled laundry with visible staining.
– Use the Extra option
Soak
instead of
Pre-wash
. If Soak is followed immedi-
ately by a main wash the same suds
are used.
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.
