White cotton and colour-fast
cotton. Normal soil. The energy
consumption decreases and the
time of the washing programme
is extended.
1) To reduce the creases of the laundry, this cycle regulates the water temperature and per-
forms a soft wash and spin phase. The appliance adds some rinses.
2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the
drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the ap-
pliance.
3) Set the spin speed. Make sure it agrees with the laundry. If you set No Spin option the only
drain phase is available.
4) Do not use any detergent for prewash phase to rinse only with water.
5) This programme is for daily use and has lowest energy and water consumption maintaining
a good washing performance.
6) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu-
lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme»
and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms
of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature de-
clared for the selected programme.
