Protection of the environment/Conservation tips– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amo unt of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.
– Instead of ÄÚÝÞÝÙ (Cottons) 90 °C , choose the programme
ÄÚÝÞÝÙ (Cottons) 60 °C with the additional function jEco
Perfect . Comparable cleaning result with significantly lowe r
energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacture rs
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, s elect the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer ma nufacturer.

Protection of the environment/Conservation tips– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amo unt of
laundry for the relevant programme.
– Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.
– Instead of ÄÚÝÞÝÙ (Cottons) 90 °C , choose the programme
ÄÚÝÞÝÙ (Cottons) 60 °C with the additional function jEco
Perfect . Comparable cleaning result with significantly lowe r
energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacture rs
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, s elect the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer ma nufacturer.
