4)The default phase of the spin speed is related to cotton items. Set the spin speed. Make sure that it agrees with the laundry.

5)Press EXTRA RINSE button to add rinses. With a low spin speed the appliance performs delicate rinses and a short spin.

6)Set this programme to decrease the time and the consumption of energy and water. Use a special detergent for very low temperature.

7)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 «standard 40 °C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

The washing temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected programme.

Set this programme to have a good washing results and decrease the energy consumption. The time of the washing programme is extended.

STEAM PROGRAMMES
Programme1)	Type of load	Max. load
Refrescar	Cotton and synthetic items.	up to 1.5 Kg
Steam Refresh
This cycle removes odours
from the laundry.
Steam does not re-
move animal odours.
Anti-arrugas	Cotton and synthetic items.	up to 1.5 Kg
Steam Anticrease
This programme helps to dew-
rinkle the laundry.

Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These programmes can reduce creases and odours and make your laundry more smooth.

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 the Steam programme for this type of clothes:

•Clothes which is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumbledrying.

•Clothes with inclusion of plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.

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 clothes to the fresh air for about 10 minutes to let the humidity dry. Laundry should be removed from the drum as quick as possible. After a steam cycle, clothes may to be ironed anyway, but with less effort!

6.1 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.

9. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

9.1 The laundry load

•Divide the laundry in: white, coloured, synthetics, delicates and wool.

•Obey the washing instructions that are on the laundry care labels.

•Do not wash together white and coloured items.

•Some coloured items can discolour with the first wash. We recommend

that you wash them separately for the first times.

•Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

•Empty the pockets and unfold the items.

•Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations.

•Remove hard stains.

•Wash with a special detergent heavy soil stains.

•Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.

•Do not wash in the appliance :

–Laundry without hems or with cuts

–Underwired bras.

–Use a washing bag to wash small items.

•A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again.

9.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.

We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.

ENGLISH 19

•Obey the instructions that you find on the on packaging of these products.

•Use the correct products for the type and colour of the fabric, the programme temperature and the level of soil.

•If you use liquid detergents, do not set the prewash phase.

•If your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

9.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high or moderate, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. In areas where the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a water softener.

To know the water hardness in your area, contact your local water authority.

Obey the instructions that you find on the packaging of the products. Equivalent scales measure the water hardness:

	9.3 Detergents and additives			• German degrees (°dH).
	• Only use detergents and additives			• French degrees (°TH).
				• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-
	specially made for washing machines.
	• Do not mix different types of deter-			national unit for the hardness of wa-
				ter).
	gents.
				• Clarke degrees.
	• To help the environment, do not use
	more than the correct quantity of de-
	tergent.
