The ECO 40-60 programme is suitable for washing normally soiled cotton laundry, that is washable at 40°C or 60°C, in the same cycle.
It is used to assess the appliance’s compliance with the European ecodesign legislation.
The most efficient programmes in terms of energy and water consumption are usually those that run at low temperatures for a longer period of time.
Loading the household washing machine to the maximum capacity for each programme, as recommended in the appliance’s instructions, helps to save energy and water.
Follow the recommendations regarding the recommended types of washing powder for the different washing programmes and temperatures specified in the appliance’s instructions.
If the powder or liquid washing product or additive (fabric softener, etc.) appears to be too compact or too thick after prolonged storage, break up the powder, or dilute the washing liquid with clean water, before pouring it into the appropriate compartment of the appliance so as not to obstruct the compartment and prevent any overflow when the water is added.
The washing powder or additive must be chosen according to the washing temperature to guarantee optimum performance while consuming the least energy (water and electricity).
The noise level and residual humidity depend on the spin speed. The higher the spin speed during the spinning phase, the louder the noise and the lower the residual humidity level.
