Energy and water consumption
–
Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
–
Use the
Mixed wash
or the
Quick
wash
programme for smaller
amounts of laundry.
–
When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed in the
Cottons
programmes,
the automatic load recognition
system will reduce the amount of
water, time and energy used. This
may mean that the programme
duration alters during the course of
the wash programme.
– Instead of the
Cottons 95°C
programme, use the
Cottons 60°C
programme together with the
Intensive
additional option. 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
Soak
option.
Detergent
–
Do not exceed the amount 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 (Soak, Pre-wash,
Intensive)
Select:
a wash programme without any
additional options for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
a wash programme together with the
Intensive
option for normal to heavily
soiled laundry with visible staining.
– Use the additional option
Soak
instead of
Pre-wash
. If Soak is
followed immediately 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.
