Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These programmes can
reduce creases and odours and make your laundry more soft.
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 where it is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble drying.
• all items with plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.

1) The washing programme Cottons Eco at 60ºC with a load of 8 kg and the drying pro-
gramme Cottons Drying are the reference programmes for the data entered in the energy la-
bel, in compliance with EEC 92/75 standards.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature de-
clared for the selected programme.
2) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the
drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the ap-
pliance.
3) Set the spin speed. Make sure it agrees with the laundry. If you set No Spin option the only
drain phase is available.
4) 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 humid-
ity dry. When the programme is completed, quickly remove the laundry from the drum. After a
steam cycle, items may to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!
5) Steam does not remove animal odours.
