Protection of the environment/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
– Instead of Resistentes/Algod (Cottons) 90 °C, choose the
programme Resistentes/Algod (Cottons) 60 °C with the
additional function EcoPerfect j. Comparable cleaning result
with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
