Energy and water consumption
– Water consumption and energy
usage are determined by the size of
the load.
To make the most out of your
machine, load the maximum dry load
for the programme you are using.
– When smaller loads are washed in
the
Cottons
programme, the auto-
matic load recognition system will
reduce the amount of water, time
and energy used. This may mean
that the time left shown in the display
is adjusted during the course of the
wash programme.
– Use the
Cottons 60°C
programme
rather than the
Cottons 95°C
programme. This allows you to save
between 35-45% energy. This is
sufficient for most soiling. Use the
Soak
programme for more stubborn
soiling.
– Using the Cottons 40°C programme
is recommended for a normally
soiled load and is the programme
used in energy/water consumption
tests to AS/NZS 2040 (Refer to
consumption data).
Detergent consumption
– Do not exceed the amounts of
detergent recommended by the
manufacturer 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).
Choosing the correct Extra option
(Short, Soak, Pre-wash)
Select:
– A wash programme together with the
Short
Extra option for light to normal
soiling where there are no obvious
marks.
– A wash programme without any Extra
options for normal to heavy soiling
with visible staining.
– A wash programme together with the
Soak
Extra option for heavily soiled
laundry.
– The
Pre-wash
Extra option for
laundry with large amounts of dirt
(e.g. dust, sand).
When drying with a tumble dryer
Selecting the highest possible spin
speed for the wash programme will
save energy when drying in a tumble
dryer afterwards.
