Environmental protection/Conservation tips
Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of
laundry for the relevant programme.
Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
Instead of LF Cottons 90 °C, select LF Cottons 60 °C
programme and the j EcoPerfect additional function.
Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower energy
consumption.
Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's
instructions and water hardness.
If the laundry is then to be dried in the tumble dryer, select the
spin speed according to the instructions of the tumble dryer
manufacturer.
Preparation
Before washing for the first time
run a wash cycle without any laundry a page 9
