1) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu-
lation 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 consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature de-
clared for the selected programme.

2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the
drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the ap-
pliance.
3) Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.

6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the da-
ta: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maxi-
mum load capacity. During the washing phase the programme duration is
automatically calculated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is
lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, 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.
