1) If you select the Super Quick, Refresh and Super Refresh option by pressing buttons Time
Manager, we recommend that you reduce the maximum load as indicated in the programmes
for cottons, synthetics and delicates. Full loading is possible however with somewhat reduced
cleaning results.
2) The appliance performs the short heating phase if the water temperature is below 20°C. The
appliance can show the temperature setting as “cold”.
3) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the
drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the ap-
pliance.
4) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu-
lation 1061/2010, these programmes with temperature selected 60°C and with temperature
selected 40°C 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 ener-
gy 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.
