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.
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!

•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.
11.2 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.
•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 your appliance has not the detergent dispenser with the flap device, add the liquid detergents with a dosing ball.
11.4 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:
