Type of load Max load
Cotton and synthetic items up to 1.5 Kg
Steam Glätten - Défroissage
This cycle helps to dewrinkle 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.

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 tumble-drying
• all garments 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!
Cotton and synthetic items up to 1.5 Kg
WOOLMARK CERTIFICATE

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.

synthetics, delicates and wool.

• 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.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applicable
to the type of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of detergent.
• 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.
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:
• German degrees (°dH).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.
• Only use detergents and additives specially made for washing machines.
