1)
To reduce the creases of the laundry, this cycle regulates the water temperature and per-
forms 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 this programme to decrease the energy and water consumption maintaining a good
washing performance.
4)
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.
5)
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!
6)
Steam does not remove animal odours.

6. CONSUMPTION VALUES
The data of this table are approximate. Different causes can change the
data: the quantity and type of laundry, the water and ambient temperature.
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 be greatly 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.

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.
