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.

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.
