Energy and water consumption
Water consumption and energy us-
age are determined by the size of the
load. To make the most of your ma-
chine, load the maximum dry load for
the programme you are using.
Use the Express programme for
small, lightly soiled loads.
When smaller amounts of laundry are
washed, the automatic load recogni-
tion system will reduce the amount of
water and energy used.
Modern detergents make it possible
to wash at lower temperatures (e.g.
20°C). Washing using lower temper-
ature settings will save energy.
To maintain the hygiene of the
washer-dryer we recommend running
a washing programme with a temper-
ature of 60°C or above. Hygiene info
will appear in the display to remind
you to do this.
Detergent
Do not exceed the amounts of deter-
gent recommended by the manufac-
turer 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).
When drying with a tumble
dryer
To save energy when tumble drying, se-
lect the highest possible spin speed for
the wash programme and for the
thermo-spin.
