7. STEAM FUNCTION
Steam helps to remove odours like the
outdoor air.
Decreases or removes creases. Makes
the pieces of clothing more flexible.
The pieces of clothing after steam
programme are easy to iron.
At the end of the steam cycles clothes
come out with a residual humidity
appropriate for ironing.
If clothes are not ironed immediately
hang them until they are completely
dry.
At the start, because of wide
types of fabrics, apply small
steam loads. You easily get
the experience, which helps
you to use the sufficient
steam loads.
7.1 How to fill water container
for steam system
CAUTION!
Use only distilled or
demineralized water.
Always when the container is
empty the indicator is on
and you cannot start the
steam programmes.
For the first time you can use
the water attached in the
bottle.
The condensed water is also
applicable for steam system.
The condensate water must
be filtered e.g. with a coffee
filter to remove small pieces
of fluff.
If you dry with standard and
steam programmes, the
water container for steam
system fills automatically.
To fill water container:
1. Turn on the appliance.
2. Set 1 of the programmes with steam
option to check the water level.
3. Pull the water container. Keep it in
horizontal position.
4. Fill the water. until you hear the
acoustic signal.
The acoustic signal sounds when the
water container for steam system is full.
5. Put the water container.

8. BEFORE FIRST USE
Before you use the appliance for the first
time:
• Clean the tumble dryer drum with a
moist cloth.
• Start a short programme (e.g. 30
minutes) with moist laundry.
• Fill up the steam water container
before using a steam programme for
the first time (see chapter on " Care
and cleaning - Fill up the steam water
container ”).
At the beginning of the
drying cycle (first 3-5 min)
there could be a slightly
higher sound level. This is
due to the compressor
starting up. This is normal for
compressor powered
appliances such as
refrigerators and freezers.
9. DAILY USE
