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 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.
3) Set the spin speed. Make sure it agrees with the laundry. If you set No Spin option the only
drain phase is available.
4) Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.

6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the
data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.
At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the
maximum load capacity. During the washing phase the programme dura-
tion is automatically calculated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry
load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maxi-
mum load capacity 7 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; real
load 1 kg, the programme duration don’t reach 1 hour). When the appli-
ance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks in the display.
