Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow
these tips:
● Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewashing in order to save
detergent, water and time (the environment
is protected too!).
● The machine works more economically if it is
fully loaded.
● With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the laundry
can then be washed at a lower temperature.
● Measure out detergent according to the
water hardness, the degree of soiling and
the quantity of laundry being washed.
