Do not set the Steam programme for this type of items:
•items where it is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble-drying

1)If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry feels humid. It is better to expose 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 to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!

CONSUMPTION VALUES
At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the maximum load capacity.
During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calculated and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 8 kg, the programme 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 data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.
