Environmental protection/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of laundry for the relevant
programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
– Instead of LFCottons 90 °C, select the LF Cottons 60 °C programme along
with the additional j EcoPerfect function. Comparable cleaning 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 appropriate spin speed
according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
Preparation
Before washing for the first time
