Washing environmentally and economically

Energy and water consumption

– Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the
load.
– Use the Mixed wash or the Quick
wash programme for smaller
amounts of laundry.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed in the COTTONS
programmes, the automatic load rec-
ognition system will reduce the
amount of water, time and energy
used. This may mean that the time
left shown in the display is adjusted
during the course of the wash
programme.
– Instead of the COTTONS 95°C
programme, use the COTTONS 60°C
programme together with the Inten-
sive additional option. 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 option.

Detergent

– Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent which may be 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).
Additional options (Soak, Pre-wash,
Intensive)
Select:
a wash programme without any addi-
tional options for light to normal soil-
ing where there are no obvious
marks.
a wash programme together with the
Intensive option for normal to heavily
soiled laundry with visible staining.
– Use the additional option Soak in-
stead of Pre-wash . If Soak is followed
immediately 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.
