Steam programmes7)
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 dry‐
ing.
• All items with plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.
Dampf Auffrischen -
Rafraîchir Vapeur
1 kg Steam programme for cotton and syn‐
thetic items. This cycle removes
odours from the laundry.8)
Dampf Glätten - Dé‐
froissage Vapeur
1 kg Steam programme for synthetic items.
This cycle helps to dewrinkle the laun‐
dry.
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 the spin speed. Make sure it is suitable for the type of fabric being washed. If you set
the No Spin option then only the drain phase is available.
4) Press Extra Rinse button to add rinses. With a low spin speed the appliance performs
delicate rinses. and a short spin.
5) This programme is for daily use and has the lowest energy and water consumption whilst
maintaining a good washing performance.
6) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu‐
lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton pro‐
gramme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient pro‐
grammes 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.
7) 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.
8) Steam does not remove animal odours.

6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
The data in this table are approximate. Different variables can affect the
data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient tempera‐
ture.
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 6 kg,
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.
