Environmental / savings 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 Cottons LF 90 °C, select the Cottons LF 60 °C programme and
the additional j Eco Perfect function. Comparable cleaning result with
significantly lower energy consumption.
Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions and water
hardness.
If you want to dry the laundry in the tumble dryer afterwards, select a spin speed
suggested by the dryer manufacturer
.
