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 quanti-

ty 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.

1) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 2 with a temperature of 60°C. 

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.  

2) Test wash cycle in compliance with directive 1061/2010: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C. 

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 40°C . The actual washing temperature may differ from the indicated value. 

For all Test Institutes: 

2) Long wash cycle for cottons: set wash cycle 3 with a temperature of 40°C. 

3) Long wash cycle for synthetics: set wash cycle 5 with a temperature of 40°C.

The length of cycle shown in this booklet is an estimation only and is calculated assuming standard working conditions. The actual duration can vary according to factors such as water temperature 

and pressure, the amount of detergent used, the amount and type of load inserted, load balancing and any wash options selected.
