Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These pro-
grammes can reduce creases and odours and make your laundry more
smooth.
Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or us-
ing localized stain removal.
Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.
Do not set the Steam programme for this type of clothes:
• Clothes which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-
drying.
• Clothes with inclusion of plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.
Touch the button

to change the duration of steam phase.
1) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry feel
humid. It is better to expose clothes to the open air for about 10 minutes to let the
humidity go away. Laundry should be removed from the drum as quick as possible. After
a steam cycle, clothes may to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!
2) For the programme time, refer to the display.
7. CONSUMPTION VALUES
At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the max-
imum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calcula-
ted and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maxi-
mum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 9 kg, the pro-
gramme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme duration
don’t reach 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks
in the display.
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the da-
ta: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.
