Ecological hints To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: • Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). • The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. 20 • With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
