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.

Touch the button 4 to change the duration of steam phase.

1)If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry feel humid. It is better to expose clothes to the open air for about 10 minutes to let the humidity go away. 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!

2)For the programme time, refer to the display.

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 9 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.

•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.

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.
