White cotton and fast-coloured cotton. Normal soil. The

energy consumption decreases and the time of the washing pro-

gramme is extended.

1) To reduce creasing, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin phase. The appliance adds

some rinses.

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) Set the spin speed. Make sure it is suitable for the type of fabric being washed. If you set the No Spin option then only the drain

phase is available.

4) Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.

5) This programme is for daily use and has the lowest energy and water consumption whilst maintaining a good washing perform-

ance.

6) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation 1061/2010, these pro-

grammes 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 declared for the selected pro-

gramme.

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 calculated and can

be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g.

Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 9 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 flashes in the dis-

play.
