4.Energy saving tips

• Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size.
• Do not exceed the detergent dosages indicated
in the manufacturer's instructions.
• The Eco-Ball - a special system in the outlet - will
prevent detergent loss from the drum to avoid
detergent loss into the environment.
• Use "Prewash" for heavily soiled laundry only!
Save detergent, time, water and energy
consumption by not selecting "Prewash" for
slight to normally soiled laundry.
• Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried-
in stains in water before washing to reduce the
necessity of a hot wash programme.
• Save energy by using a 60° C instead of a 95° C
wash programme or a 40° C instead of a 60° C
wash programme.
• Save energy and time by selecting a high spin
speed to reduce the water content in laundry
before using a tumble dryer (for machines with
adjustable spin speed).

• The appliance conforms to the following
European Standards:
73/23/EEC Low voltage directive
