ADVICE AND TIPS BEFORE WASHING

SAVE TIME AND ENERGY

Use the Everyday wash programme to save time and
energy. This programme has a shorter main wash than
Standard cotton
soiled washing.

HIGH WATER LEVEL

If you want more water for the main wash and rinses, you
can use the High water level option. High water level is
used automatically in the Wool/hand wash programme.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY
You can save a lot of energy by not using higher
temperature programs than necessary.
• Select Quick if you just need to freshen up shirts or
exercise clothes, for example. This will save both
water and energy.
• If you select a fast spin speed, this reduces energy
consumption when drying in a tumble dryer or drying
cabinet.
• Always wash with a full load when using the Heavy,
Everyday wash and Standard cotton
programmes.
• Avoid pre-washing. Modern machines and detergents
clean eff ectively without pre-washing. Pre-washing is
only necessary for heavily soiled washing.

DETERGENTS

Eco-labelled detergents are less harmful to the
environment. Detergent overdosing does not give better
washing results; it merely causes a greater impact on
the environment. Try to use less detergent, and increase
only if you are not satisfi ed with the results.

DYEING FABRICS

If you want to dye fabrics in the machine, select the
Everyday wash programme with the Super rinse option.
Select temperature according to the dye manufacturer's
recommendations. Choose a low spin speed if the fabric
to be dyed is a blended material such as polyester/
cotton.
NOTE!
Add the dye directly to the washing drum – not to the
detergent compartment. After dyeing, you should run
the machine empty using the same program. Use the
normal amount of detergent.
NOTE!
Due to environmental concerns, we discourage the
use of strong chemicals.
When using agents for bleaching or stain removal,
there is a risk of rust (corrosion) and discolouration of
the machine.
