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).
