REMAINING MOISTURE CONTENT OF LAUNDRY
AFTER SPINNING
The laundry’s remaining moisture content after spinning depends on the type of fabric, the programme
selected and the spin speed. Low moisture content can be obtained by selecting the wash programme
referred to on the energy label and the highest spin speed. This programme is indicated as the “Energy
label reference programme” on the separate Programme Chart. Below is an overview of the remaining
moisture content (in %) relating to the different spin-drying efficiency classes:
SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
• Energy, water, detergent and time are used optimally if you observe the maximum load sizes with the
programmes.
• You can save energy by washing at 60°C instead of 95°C, or at 40°C instead of 60°C.
• Pretreat stains with a stain remover or soak the laundry before washing to reduce the need for a hot
wash programme.
• Only select “Prewash” for heavily soiled laundry. You will save water, detergent, time and energy by not
using “Prewash” for normal or slightly soiled laundry.
• Do not exceed the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack.
• Select a higher spin speed if you wish to dry the laundry after washing in a tumble dryer. This will save
on time and energy during the drying process.
ENERGY LABEL DECLARATION
(only for washing machines with an energy label in accordance with Directive 2010/30/EU)
The energy label contains information about your washing machine’s power and consumption:
The black arrow in bold indicates the energy efficiency class (A+++ = most energy efficient/
D = least energy efficient).
Spin drying efficiency class Remaining moisture content in %
A (= most efficient) less than 45
B 45 or more but less than 54
C 54 or more but less than 63
D 63 or more but less than 72
E 72 or more but less than 81
