Tips on energy saving
• Washing full loads of laundry will reduce the
amount of energy and water used.
• Do not overload the washing machine (this can
also damage the machine).
• Prewash or soak heavily soiled clothes. Use a
stain remover to remove the worst stains. This will
reduce the need to wash at high temperatur es.
• For lightly soiled clothing, r educe the amount of
detergent used or select normal/middle or delicate
wash.
• Select the lowest temperatur e setting suitable for
the load.
• Do not use mor e detergent than required.
• Switch of f at the mains after each use.
