Environmental protection/Conservation tips
– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled washing without a pre-wash (model-
dependent).
– Instead of Cottons 90 °C, choose the programme
Cottons Eco 60 °C. 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
(model-dependent).
