Energy and water consumption
- Use the maximum load size for the
current wash programme. The energy
and water consumption will then be
the lowest in relation to the size of the
load.
- Programmes that are more efficient
with regard to energy and water con-
sumption generally have a longer pro-
gramme running time. By extending
the programme running time, the
wash temperature that is actually
reached can be reduced while still
providing the same wash results.
For example, the ECO40-60 pro-
gramme has a longer programme
running time than the Cottons 40°C
or 60°C programme. The ECO40-60
programme is more efficient in terms
of energy and water consumption.
- Use the Express programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
- Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Using lower temperature set-
tings will save energy.
- To maintain the hygiene of the
washer-dryer, carry out a hot wash
(above 60°C) at regular intervals. The
indicator light lights up in the con-
trol field and appears on the time
display of the washer-dryer to remind
you.
Detergent
- Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer on the packaging.
- Adjust the dosage to the degree of
soiling of the laundry.
- Reduce the amount of detergent with
smaller loads (approx. 1/3 less than
the amount recommended can be
used when washing a half load).
When drying with a tumble
dryer
To save energy when tumble drying, se-
lect the highest possible spin speed for
the wash programme and for the
thermo-spin.
