Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most of your machine,
load the maximum dry load for the
programme you are using.
– When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load
recognition system will reduce the
amount of water and energy used.
– Use the Express 20 programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
– Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20 °C). Washing using lower
temperature settings will save energy.
– To maintain the hygiene of the
machine, carry out a hot wash (60 °C
or above) using powder detergent at
regular intervals.

Detergent
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer on the packaging.
– Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
– Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx. ⅓ less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
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.
