laundry load weight defining the
programme duration in 30 seconds.
The washing programme is tailored to
the laundry load and the type of fabric
without consuming more time, energy
and water than necessary. Read the

clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in
the same cycle.

The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally
those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
