the programme Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons/clrds) 60 °C with
the additional function EcoPerfect j. Comparable cleaning
result with significantly lower energy consumption.
– Measure the detergent according to the manufacture rs
instructions and water hardness.
– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, s elect the spin
speed according to the instructions of the dryer ma nufacturer.
