1)The Stain function is not available with a temperature lower than 40°C
2)if you set the Extra Quick function we recommend to decrease the quantity of the load. It is possible to keep the full load but the washing results are not good.
3)The wash and spin phase is soft to prevent the creases of the laundry. The appliance adds some rinses.
4)The default phase of the spin speed is related to cotton items. Set the spin speed. Make sure that it agrees with the laundry. To select the DRAIN programme only, set the function NO SPIN.
5)Press EXTRA RINSE button to add rinses. With a low spin speed the appliance performs delicate rinses and a short spin
6)Set this programme to decrease the time and the consumption of energy and water.
7)STANDARD PROGRAMMES for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation 1061/2010, these programmes 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.
Set this programme to have a good washing results and decrease the energy consumption. The time of the washing programme is extended.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected programme.
electrolux 11
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 7 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.
