Programme

Auffrischen - Rafraîchir This cycle removes odours from the laundry.

Steam does not remove animal odours.

Glätten - Défroissage This programme 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. 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!

Cotton and synthetic items. 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.

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

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.
