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.
–
When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, 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.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g
20°C). Washing using lower
temperature settings will save
energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
washing machine, carry out a hot
wash (60°C or above) using powder
detergent at regular intervals. The
Hygiene Info message will appear in
the display to remind you to carry out
a hot wash.
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 for
smaller loads. Use the Load/
Detergent button.
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, 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.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak extra option for very heavily
soiled laundry.
–
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.
