7. CONSUMPTION VALUES
At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the max-
imum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calcula-
ted and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maxi-
mum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 9 kg, the pro-
gramme 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.
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the da-
ta: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.
