For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to 'Con‐
sumption Values' chapter.
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower tem‐
peratures and longer duration.
2) To reduce creasing, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin phase. The
appliance adds some rinses.
3) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't rotate or
doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.
4) Set the spin speed. Make sure it is suitable for the type of fabric being washed. If you set the No Spin option
then only the drain phase is available.
5) Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.
6) This programme is for daily use and has the lowest energy and water consumption whilst maintaining a good
washing performance.
