laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled washing without a pre-wash (model-

with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer
