– Wash normally soiled washing without prewash.
Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower energy consumption.
– The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so that you get the optimum mix
of energy-saving and washing results.
– Measure detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions and water
hardness.
– If the washing is then dried in the tumble dryer, select spin speed according to the
instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
