Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance with standard IEC/EN 60 456. Consumption data in the home may vary with respect to the values in the table in relation to the water supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. Water and energy consumption refer to the default setting of the programmes; selecting special options or modifying spin speed or temperature will change the consumption data.

The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also “Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).

* To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pump drains the water out.

** Standard Cotton programme and basis for Energy Label. For reasons of energy saving, the real water temperature may deviate from the declared cycle temperature.

• Selectable only on the lowest temperature step of each programme.

“Rinse Hold” button

• The laundry remains in the last rinse water without progressing to the final spin cycle to avoid creasing and prevent colours from changing.

• This option is particularly recommended for the “Synthetics”, “Daily load” and “Delicates” programmes.
