Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laundry. These programmes can
reduce creases and odours and make your laundry more soft.
Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or using localized
stain removal.
Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.
Do not set a Steam programme with these types of items:
• items where it is not specified on the care label as being suitable for tumble dry‐
ing.
• all items with plastic, metal, wooden parts or alike.

1) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values. According to regu‐
lation 1061/2010, these programmes are respectively the «Standard 60°C cotton pro‐
gramme» and the «Standard 40°C cotton programme». They are the most efficient pro‐
grammes 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.
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) 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!
5) 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 tempera‐
ture.
At programme start the display shows the duration programme 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 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.
