• During the countdown, you can still modify the

programme setting (select or deselect options, change

spin speed etc.). If the modifications prolong the

programme duration so that it overruns the originally

set time until the “Cycle end”, the programme will start

immediately.

• Sometimes the programme may finish before the

selected time until the “Cycle end” has expired (e.g.

for small loads). In this case, the washing machine will

tumble the laundry regularly to keep it fresh, until the

selected “Cycle end” time has expired. During tumbling,

the display will show an animation. The tumbling phase

can be stopped at any time either by pressing any button

or by rotating the programme selector; the animation

CONSUMPTION DATA

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.
