For all testing institutes:
2) Long cotton cycle: set programme 5 at temperature 40°C.
3) Long synthetics cycle: set cycle 6 at a temperature of 40°C.
* By selecting the cycle and excluding the spin cycle, the washer-dryer will drain only.
** If a drying cycle is also programmed, the machine will run a “wash+dry” programme lasting
45’ and a 1kg laundry load.
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 programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Wash):
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.
Test programme in compliance with standard EN 50229 (Drying): select the 10 wash
programme and set the drying level to “A3”, for both loads. The rst drying cycle must be
carried out with the nominal load.
Maximum load 8 kg
Power input in o mode 0.5 W / in left-on mode 8 W
