So, I've just bought a new washing machine and come across something I'm struggling to make sense of. The model I've gone for is a Samsung WW90TA046AX and the default wash on it is called "Eco 40-60". When this is selected both the 40 and 60c lights on the display turn on, and you can't override the temperature setting to something of your choosing like you can on it's other cycles. All the book says about it is "for cleaning normally soiled cotton items which are declated to be washable at 40 or 60 together in the same cycle" but I can't for the life of me work out what temperature this cycle actually washes at!
I assume it cant be more than 40C but to me the wording is agnostic and I can't work out if it means you should only use this for garments that say 60 or 40 and 60 on the label, or if it's suggesting to use it for anything with a 40, or a 60 logo on?
My googling suggests this is a relatively new EU standard for working out their energy efficieny and I get the feeling it's meant to be one of the machiens most economical cycles short of manually specfying a cold wash or similiar but I don't fancy chucking a load in and finding everythings shrunk when it's all be washed at 60!
Has anyone seen this before, or confirmed what temperature it actually runs at?
