The EU energy effi ciency class.All washing machines and tumble dryers, regardless of manufacturer, carry an EU energy label. The label categorises the appliance according to its energy efficiency. For 2011 a new washing machine categorisation, from A+++ to D, is being introduced. All our and washing machines will be rated as A+++, at the very top of the new 2011 EU classification. Our and washing machines are still rated under the pre-2011 EU classification and still score very highly - at A less 20% (20% more efficient than A rated).* To help you spot the real energy-saving champions, the most energy efficient appliances in our range also carry a Siemens Silver or Gold Energy Efficiency Award logo.Similarly, tumble dryers with a Class B energy rating carry the silver award, while our world-beating A-rated model easily qualifies for the gold.* All iQ300 ad iQ100 washing machines will be classified underthe new 2011 EU Energy rating label from September 2011.
