The energy consumption decreases and the time of the
washing programme is extended.

1)

To reduce the creases of the laundry, 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 washing. It can seem that the drum doesn't rotate or

doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the appliance.

3)

Set the spin speed. Make sure it agrees with the laundry. If you set No Spin option the only drain phase is availa-

ble.

4)

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

5)

This programme is for daily use and has lowest energy and water consumption maintaining a good washing per-

formance.

6)

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.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selec­ted programme.
