Consumption values were measured in normalized conditions, in compliance with IEC/EN 60456. In the home, they may vary depending on the individual water
supply pressure and temperature, the load and the type of wash. The consumption data indicated are based on an inlet water temperature of approx. 15°C
through the cold fill valve as well as the hot fill valve (if available). If your washing machine has a hot fi ll valve, connection of this valve to hot water supply will
lower the energy consumption by reduced heating times, depending on the individual hot fill inlet water temperature.
Water and energy consumptions refer to the default setting of the programmes, with temperature and load as indicated in the table; selecting any options or
changing the spin speed will also change the consumption data.

* Reference programmes for Energy Label.
** To reduce the water temperature, some cold water is added at the end of the main wash cycle before the water is drained.
*** Automatic adaptation of programme duration after detection of wash load.
