Prewash cycle increases programme duration by aproximately 20 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.
* 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.
