Prewash cycle might increase programme duration. 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 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.
