•items where it is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble drying.

•all items with plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.

40°C

Steam programme for cotton and synthetic items. This cycle helps to dewrinkle the laundry.

1)To reduce the creases of the laundry, this cycle regulates the water temperature and performs a soft wash and spin phase. The appliance adds some rinses.

2)During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle washing. It can seem that the drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly. Consider this as a normal functioning of the appliance.

3)Set the spin speed. Make sure it agrees with the laundry. If you set No Spin option the only drain phase is available.

4)This programme is for daily use and has lowest energy and water consumption maintaining a good washing performance.

5)Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regulation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton programme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.

The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected programme.

6)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!

7)Steam does not remove animal odours.

11.HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

11.1 The laundry load

•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. Use a washing bag to wash small and/or delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts, tights, etc. ).

•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.

•After 5 minutes from the end of the washing programme

Press the button Ein/Aus - Marche/ Arrêt to activate the appliance again. The display shows the end of the last set programme.

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.
