1.4. Protection of the environment
We recommend that the following instructions should be followed to
achieve savings in water and energy and therefore to contribute to
protection of the environment:
• If possible, use the washing machine at full capacity rather than
with partial loads (however, do not overload the drum).
• Only use the Prewash or Soak function for very dirty washing.
• Use a detergent dose adapted to the water hardness (see «propor-
tioning of detergents» section) and to the amount of washing
and how dirty it is.
