- ECO 40-60: The energy-label reference programme. Washes normally soiled cottons declared washable at 40 or 60 in the same cycle, with the lowest energy and water use. (up to 60°C, up to 1400 rpm)
- 20°C: Cold wash for lightly soiled mixed loads of cottons, synthetics and colours together, saving energy. (up to 20°C, up to 1400 rpm)
