Environmental protection / Conservation tips– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amo unt of laundry for the relevant
programme.
– Wash laundry with normal soiling without a pre-was h.
– Instead of Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons) 90 °C,select the Resistentes/Algod.
(Cottons) 60 °Cprogramme and the jEcoPerfect additional function.
Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacture rs instructions and water
hardness.
– Energy saving mode :The display panel lighting goes out after a few min utes;
Inicio /Pausa + Carga (Start/Reload) flashes. Press any button to turn t he
light back on.
– If the laundry is then to be dried in the tumble drye r, select the appropriate spin
speed according to the instructions from the dryer ma nufacturer.

– Instead of Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons) 90 °C,select the Resistentes/Algod.
(Cottons) 60 °Cprogramme and the jEcoPerfect additional function.
Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower en ergy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacture rs instructions and water
hardness.
– Energy saving mode :The display panel lighting goes out after a few min utes;
Inicio /Pausa + Carga (Start/Reload) flashes. Press any button to turn th e
