Protecting the environment
To save water and energy and therefore
help protect the environment, we re-
commend the following :
• Whenever possible, use the
appliance at full capacity and avoid
partial loads.
• Only use the prewash and soak pro-
grammes for heavily soiled items.
• Use an appropriate amount of deter-
gent for the hardness of the water (cf.
section “Using the right amount of
detergent”), the size of the load and
how soiled the washing is.
