6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant stand‐
ards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of
laundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage
and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing pro‐
gramme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve
the quality of product.
www.electrolux.com8
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically cal‐
culated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the
maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 7 kg,
the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the pro‐
gramme duration will be less than 1 hour).
