Out of concern for the environment...
These hints are intended to help you act in an environmentally con-
scious mannet.
For normally soiled laundry, the programmes are intended for
use without prewash. Compared to a programme with prewash,
you save detergent and water.
Itis more economical to wash full loads. If you find it necessary to
wash small loads, you should use the "HALF LOAD" button. Add
only % to 14 of the amount of detergent for a full load. This will
result in consumption of less water, energy and detergent.
For light to normally soiled laundry, it is often sufficient to use the
E = "ENERGY SAVING" ~ programme, ie at a lower temperature
for a longer time.
With suitable pretreatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed. This saves a programme being used for heavily soiled
laundry.
Dose your detergent exactly as instructed by the detergent
manufacturer, bearing in mind that because of the OKO lock you
can use 20% less. Overdosage wastes money and burdens the
environment. You should also note the instructions for lightly
soiled laundry.
Detergent savings and care for the environment can also be
achieved by dosing the detergent as for soft water although you
have medium to high water hardnesses, and additionally adding
a water softener. This reduces the amount of "chemicals" enter-
ing our water ways.
Use fabric softeners only where necessary, eg for synthetic or
mixed fabrics to avoid static. If you use a tumble dryer, your
laundry will be soft and fluffy without a fabric softener.
Here are the economy programmes:
HALF LOAD - Programmes for half and small wash
joads
E = ENERGY SAVING - Programmes for fabrics where soiling
does not require the full programme at a
high temperature
