Longest: Increasing the programme
duration gradually decreases the energy
consumption. The optimized heating
phase saves energy and the longer
duration maintains the same washing
results (specially for normal soil).

Eco Info

The Eco Info stripes (available only in cot­ton and synthetics programmes) show the
efficiency of the washing programme in
terms of energy saving:

• 6 stripes: the most efficient setting to
optimize the washing programme per­formance.

• 1 stripe: the less efficient setting.

The number of Eco Info stripes changes if
you modify the duration of the washing
programme (refer to Time Manager) and
the washing temperature. To optimize the
washing programme performance, the
stripe number must increase:

• If you increase the programme dura­tion, the Eco Info stripes increases. The
increasing the washing programme du­ration allows a costant performance
that reduces the energy consumption.

• If you decrease the washing tempera­ture, the Eco Info stripes increases.
