WASH CYCLE TABLE
For all testing institutes:
2) Long cotton cycle: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C.
3) Long synthetics cycle: set wash cycle 4 with a temperature of 40°C.
* By selecting the 14 cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washing machine will drain only.
** The duration of the wash cycles can be checked on the display.
*** For Prewash press the “Temp.” button until the symbol lights up (only 90°).
The cycle duration indicated on the display or instruction manual is an estimate based on
standard conditions. The actual duration may vary in relation to several factors, such as
the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of
detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected.
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with regulation 1061/2010:
This cycle is designed for normally soiled cotton loads and is the most ecient in terms of
both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for garments washable at 60°C or
at 40°C. The actual washing temperature may dier from the indicated value.
