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
programme duration 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
extra option.
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
Load/
Detergent
button.
Choosing the correct extra option
(Pre-wash, Soak, Short)
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
.
A wash programme together with the
Soak
option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– 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 straight afterwards
–
Select a high spin speed for the
wash programme, as well as for the
Thermospin, if tumble drying this
laundry afterwards. This saves time
and energy.
