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
programmes, the automatic 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.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soak
option.
–
Use the additional option
Soak
instead of
Pre-wash
. If Soak is
followed immediately by a main
wash, the same suds are used.
Detergent
–
Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
–
Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx.
1
/
3
less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Additional options
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
–
A wash programme together with the
Short
option for light to normal soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
– A wash programme without any
additional options for normal to
heavy soiling with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak
option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– The
Pre-wash
additional 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.
