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).
