(EU) 2019/2023.
The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower
temperatures and longer duration.
Loading the household washing machine up to the capacity indicated for the respective programmes will
contribute to energy and water savings.
Noise and remaining moisture content are inuenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in
the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
