1) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values.

According to regulation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60 °C cotton programme» and the «Standard 40 °C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected programme.

2) Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.

Programme options compatibility

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maximum load capacity.

During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60^ , maximum load capacity 8 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme duration don't reach 1 hour).

When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks in the display.

The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.
