Environmental tips

• A pre-wash cycle is not necessary in the case of washing which is not

excessively dirt. This saves detergent, water and time (and is gentle on
the environment.)

• If the indicated load capacities are taken full advantage of, the wash-

ing machine is especially efficient.

• For small loads, use only one half to one third of the recommended

detergent quantity.

• Suitable pre-treatment enables marks and limited amounts of dirt to

be removed. You can then wash at a lower temperature.

• Wash slightly to normally dirty cottons with the energy-saving pro-

gram.

• There is often no need for the softener. Try it once! If you use a drier,

your washing will become soft and fluffy even without a softener.

• In the case of medium to high water hardness (hardness range runs to

upwards, see "Detergent and care agents“), you should use a water
softener. The detergent can then always be metered for hardness
range I (= soft).
