Prewash cycle increases programme duration approximately 15 min. 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 data on the “Energy Label” refer to the programme “Cotton 60°C”.

* 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 pump drains
the water out.

NOTES AND INDICATIONS FOR USE

• After switching your washing machine on, it

does not start immediately: it needs some
second in order to lock the door, fill water and
then drum starts turning.

• Spinning has an interrupted start-up: the drum
starts and stops running several times, to
improve spin efficiency and to better balance
the laundry.

• At the end of the spinning cycle the drum goes
on reversing for some minutes: this helps you
unloading the laundry.

• Do not exceed in detergents dosage: excessive
foam formation may prevent spinning.
