Tips for environmental protection
To save water, energy and help protect the environment, we recom-
mend 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.
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two thirds of the rec-
ommended amount of detergent.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• Try not to use fabric softeners. If the laundry is machine dried, it will
remain soft even without using fabric softeners.
• If the water has a medium or high degree of hardness (starting from
hardness degree II, see “Detergents and additives”) water softeners
must be added.
• The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to hardness degree I
(= soft).
