Saving energy when using your washer dryer
o To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent, we
recommend that you put a full load in your washer dryer but
without exceeding the recommended maximum load size. Up to
50% of energy saving can be made with one full load compared
to two half load washes.
o Only use the cycles with a pre-wash for particularly dirty loads.
Energy savings of 5% to 15% can be made by not selecting the
pre-wash option for normal soiled laundry.
o Using stain removers before machine washing reduces the need
to wash at temperatures over 60°C. Energy savings of up to
50% can be made by using a 60°C wash temperature rather
than 90°C.
o Save energy and time by selecting a high spin speed to reduce
the water content in laundry before using a drying program.
Automatic consumption reduction
o The washer dryer is fitted with an automatic consumption
reduction system which enables the machine to use the amount
of water needed to wash and rinse the laundry in relation to the
particular load size.
o This results in a reduction in the amount of water used and
electricity needed to heat it to the minimum temperature
required without compromising the washing and rinsing
performance in any way.
o The amount of water and electricity used will always be
appropriate for the amount of laundry which ensures you achieve
excellent washing results whilst respecting the environment and
saving money.
Removing stains
Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may
need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the
washer dryer.
o Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like blood, milk or
grass.
o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash.
