Protection of the environment/Conservation tips
Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.
Instead of Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons/clrds) 90 °C, choose
the programme Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons/clrds) 60 °C with
the additional function EcoPerfect j. Comparable cleaning
result with significantly lower energy consumption.
Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
Preparation Before washing for the first time
Wash once without any laundry -> page 9.
