PROGRAMME TABLE

NOTE: PROGRAMME DURATION MAY CHANGE ACCORDING TO THE AMOUNT OF LAUNDRY, TAP WATER, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, AND SELECTED ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS.
(*) If your machine includes the rapid washing additional function and you put 2 kg or less of laundry into your machine, your machine will automatically wash the laundry for 30 minutes.
(**) Due to the short washing time of this program, we recommend that less detergent is used. The program may last longer than 15 minutes if your machine detects an uneven load. You can open the door of your machine 2 minutes after the completion of a washing operation. (The 2-minute period is not included in the program duration).
According to regulations 1015/2010 and 1061/2010, program 3 with temperature selections is the ‘Standard 60°C cotton program’ and the ‘Standard 40°C cotton program’.
The Eco 40-60 program is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle, and this program is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.

• The most efficient programs in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
• Loading the household washing machine up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer for the respective programs will contribute to energy and water savings.
• Program duration, energy consumption, and water consumption values may vary according to wash load weight and type, selected extra functions, tap water, and ambient temperature.
