7. CONSUMPTION VALUES

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maximum load capacity. During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can greatly be 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; real load 1 kg, the programme duration don’t reach 1 hour). When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks in the display.

The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.

The wool wash of this machine has been tested and approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing of wool containing garments labeled as «hand wash» provided that the garments are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine.

the hooks or put the curtains in a

washing bag or pillowcase.

items.

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this

occurs, adjust manually the items in

the tub and start the spin phase again.

10.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient. We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance. Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

10.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing ma-

chines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener. To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority. Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products. Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:
