According to regulation 1061/2010, the “COTTONS ” with "ECO ” option selected and the
“COTTONS

” with "ECO ” option selected are respectively the “standard 60 °C cotton
programme” and the “standard 40 °C cotton programme”. They are the most efficient programmes in terms
of combined energy and water consumptions for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected
programme.

2) If you use liquid detergents, set a programme without PREWASH.

3) A single or bulky item may cause imbalance. If the appliance doesn’t perform the final spin phase, add more

items, redistribute the load manually and then set the spinning programme.
