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.Water and energy consumption refer
to the default setting of the programmes; selecting special options or modifying spin speed or temperature will change the consumption data.
The programme duration may differ from the values indicated above as it depends on the operation conditions applicable at that time (see also
“Troubleshooting Guide” in your Instructions for Use).
