Washing environmentally and economically
Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
– Use the Automatic or the Quick wash
programmes for small loads.
– If smaller loads are washed using the
Cottons programmes, the automatic
load recognition system will reduce
the amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the
programme duration is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Instead of using Cottons 95°C , use
Cottons 60°C and select the
Intensive Extra. This will give an
energy saving of between 35% and
45%. The programme duration will
be longer. This combination is
sufficient for most levels of soiling.
For stubborn or old stains, use the
Soak Extra option.

Detergent
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx.
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
Choosing the correct Extra option:
Soak, Pre-wash, Intensive
Select:
a wash programme without any
Extras for light to normal soiling
where there are no obvious marks.
a wash programme with the Intensive
Extra for normal to heavily soiled
laundry with visible staining.
– Use the Soak Extra instead of
Pre-wash . If Soak is followed immedi-
ately by a main wash the same suds
are used.
When drying with a tumble dryer
– Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
