6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the
data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient tempera‐
ture.

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the
maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically cal‐
culated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the
maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 8 kg,
the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme
duration don’t reach 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot
blinks in the display.
