14. CONSUMPTION VALUES
Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant stand-ards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type oflaundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltageand the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing pro-gramme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improvethe quality of product.
During the washing programme, the Prosense technology can vary thewash duration and the consumption values. For more details see 'TheProsense load detection' paragraph in 'Daily Use' chapter.
