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”.
* 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
seconds 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.
