HINTS AND TIPS

12.4 Ecological hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we
recommend that you follow these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewash in
order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is
protected too!).
• Loading the appliance to the maximum capacity indicated for
each programmes helps to reduce energy and water
consumption.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower
temperature.
• Set the maximum possible spin speed for the selected washing
programme before drying your laundry in a tumble dryer. This
will save energy during drying!

12.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a
water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your local
water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging of the product.
