6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
The data in this table are approximate. Different variables can affect the
data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient tempera‐
ture.
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 8 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.
