water temperature and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle
This cycle is designed for cotton loads with a normal soil level and is the most efficient in terms of both electricity and water consumption; it should be used for
garments which can be washed at 60°C . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value.

Eco Wash cycles
The Eco Cycles assure energy saving by eliminating the need to heat the water and it's an advantage both to your energy
bill and the environment!
These innovative Eco programmes (Cotton, Synthetics and Fast Wash) are available for various fabrics and different
quantity of garments; they have been designed to guarantee a high cleaning action even at low temperature and can
be used for lightly to medium soiled loads.
Eco Cycles give the best results thanks to an intensified wash action, water optimization and are carried out in the
same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results with Eco programmes we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent.
