Steam programmes5)
Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These programmes can
reduce creases and odours and make your laundry softer.
Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or using localized
stain removal.
Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.
Do not set a Steam programme with these types of items:
• Items to be washed at a temperature lower than 40°C.
• Items where it is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble drying.
• All items with plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.
Opfrissen - Rafraîchir
1.5 kg Steam programme for cotton and synthetic
items. This cycle removes odours from the laun-
dry6).
Ontkreuk - Défroissage
1.5 kg Steam programme for synthetic items. This cy-
cle helps to dewrinkle the laundry.
1) To reduce creasing, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin
phase. The appliance adds some rinses.
2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't
rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.
3) Set this programme to decrease the energy and water consumption maintaining a good washing per-
formance.
4) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation
1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Stand-
ard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and
water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared
for the selected programme.
5) If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry could be humid.
It is better to expose the items to the fresh air for about 10 minutes to let the humidity dry. When the
programme is completed, quickly remove the laundry from the drum. After a steam cycle, items may be
ironed however with less effort.
6) Steam does not remove animal odours.

5.2 Woolmark Apparel Care -
Green
The wool wash cycle of this machine has
been approved by The Woolmark
Company for the washing of wool
garments labelled as «hand wash»
provided that the garments are washed
according to the instructions issued by
the manufacturer of this washing
machine. Follow the garment care label
for drying and other laundry instructions.
M1361
In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the
Woolmark symbol is a certification
trademark.
6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant stand-
ards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of
laundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage
and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing pro-
gramme duration.
Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve
the quality of product.
At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme dura-
tion for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically cal-
culated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the
maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 9kg,
the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the pro-
gramme duration will be less than 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot
flashes in the display.
