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.
Auffrischen - Rafraîchir
1.5 kg Steam programme for cotton and
synthetic items. This cycle removes
odours from the laundry6).
Glätten - Défroissage
1.5 kg Steam programme for synthetic
items. This cycle 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 performance.
4) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu-
lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme»
and the «Standard 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 de-
clared 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 humid-
ity 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.

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 laun-
dry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage and the
temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing programme dura-
tion.
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 duration
for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calcu-
lated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maxi-
mum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 9 kg, the
programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the programme
duration will be less than 1 hour).
When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot flash-
es in the display.
