Your washer-dryer uses water, energy and detergent
efficiently, thereby protecting the environment and
reducing your household costs. For consumption
values of your appliance see page 51.
Using your washer-dryer in an efficient and
environmentally friendly manner:
With smaller amounts of laundry, the load adjust
■
reduces the water and energy consumption.
Select the Cottons Eco 0 60°C with Wash Plus È
■
programme instead of Cottons ic 90°C. The
longer washing time in this 60°C programme
means that the cleaning effects are comparable
with those of a 90°C programme, although the
power consumption is considerably lower.
Do not use prewash for lightly to normally soiled
■
washing.
Add detergent according to the degree of soiling,
■
amount of laundry and water hardness, and
observe the detergent manufacturer's instructions.
If washing is then to be dried in the appliance,
■
select the higher spin speed - because the more
water that is spun out of the appliance, the less
time and energy is required to dry it, and get a
good drying performance. In case of cotton,
≥1000rpm spin speed is recommended; in case of
easycare, 800rpm spin speed is recommended.
