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 LcCottons 90 °C, select the LCottons 60 °C programme and the
additional
ć Eco Perfect 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 dried in the tumble dryer, select the appropriate spin speed
according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer
.
