the No Spin option then only the drain phase is available.
4)
If you set a Steam programme with dried laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry could be humid. It is better to expose the 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!

At the start of the programme, the display shows the programme dura‐ tion for the maximum load capacity. During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically cal‐ culated and can be greatly reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maximum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 10 kg, the programme duration exceeds 2 hours; actual load 1 kg, the pro‐ gramme duration will be less than 1 hour). When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot flashes in the display.
