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 a nd temperature, the load and the type of wash.
* The remaining time indicator can similarly deviate from the values in the table, because it takes into account the household

conditions applicable at that time.

** To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle, before the pu mp drains the
