Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions in compliance 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 and temperature, the load and the type
of wash.
* The remaining time indicator can 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 pump drains the water out.
