The data in this table are approximate. Different variables can affect the
data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient tempera-
ture.
At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme dura-
tion 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 7 kg,
the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the pro-
gramme duration will be less than 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot
flashes in the display.
