Environment Tips
•
The pre-wash cycle is not required for averagely
dirty washing. This saves washing powder/liquid,
water and time (and does not harm the environ-
ment).
•
The washing machine is especially economical
when you fully utilise the stated filling quantities.
•
For small amounts of washing, use only half to
two thirds the recommended amount of washing
powder/liquid.
•
Suitable pretreatment enables stains and small
amounts of dirt to be removed. You can then
wash at a lower temperature.
•
Use the energy-saving program to wash gar-
ments which are lightly to moderately dirty.
•
There is often no need for conditioner. Try it once!
If you use a dryer, your washing will become soft
and velvety even without conditioner.
•
In the case of medium to high water hardness,
(hardness range II or higher, see ”Washing and
Care Agents”), you should use water softener.
The washing powder/liquid can then always be
metered for hardness range I (= soft).
