to decrease the energy consumption. Make
sure that the detergent is for low temperature 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 .

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.
ENGLISH 9
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 10
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.
