Washing environmentally and economically

  • Programmes that are more efficient with regard to energy and water consumption generally have a longer running time. By extending the program running time, the wash temperature that is actually reached can be reduced while still providing the same wash results.
  •  For example, the Cotton 40°C program has a longer running time than the Cotton 40°C or 60°C programs, but the Cotton 40°C program is more efficient in terms of energy and water consumption.
  • To get the most out of your machine, load the maximum dry load for the program you are using.
  • Use the Express 20 program for small, lightly soiled loads.
