ature in order to have good washing results3).

1) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu‐

lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton pro‐

gramme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient pro‐

grammes 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

declared for the selected programme.

2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the

drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

3) No temperature indicator is on .

1) When you set this option, we recommend that you decrease the quantity of the laundry. It

is possible to keep the full load but the washing results can be unsatisfactory. Recommen‐

ded load: cotton: 3,5 kg, synthetics and delicates: 1,5 kg.

5.1 Woolmark Apparel Care - Blue

The wool wash cycle of this machine has

been approved by The Woolmark Compa‐

ny for the washing of wool garments label‐

led as «hand wash» provided that the gar‐

ments are washed according to the instruc‐

tions issued by the manufacturer of this

washing machine. Follow the garment care

label for drying and other laundry instruc‐

tions. M1511

The Woolmark symbol is a Certification

mark in many countries.

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.

At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme dura‐

tion for the maximum load capacity.

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).

When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot

flashes in the display.
