1) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu-
lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme»
and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes 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 de-
clared 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) Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.

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 temperature.
At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme duration
for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calcu-
lated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maxi-
mum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 7 kg, the
programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the programme
duration will be less than 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot flash-
es in the display.
