STEAM PROGRAMMES

Programme

Type of load Max load

Steam – Refresh

This cycle removes odours from the

Steam does not remove animal

odours.

Cotton and synthetic

up to 1.5 Kg

Steam – Anticrease

This cycle helps to dewrinkle the laun-

dry.

Cotton and synthetic

items

up to 1.5 Kg

Steam can be used for dry, washed or laundry worn once. These pro-

grammes can reduce creases and odours and make your laundry more

soft.

Do not use any detergent. If necessary, remove stains by washing or us-

ing localized stain removal.

Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.

Do not set the Steam programme for this type of items:

• 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.

If you set a steam programme with dry laundry, at the end of the cycle the laundry will

feel 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 complete, quickly remove the laundry from the

drum. After a steam cycle, items may be ironed straight away, but with less effort.

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the max-

imum load capacity.

During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calcula-

ted and can greatly be reduced if the laundry load is lower than the maxi-

mum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 8 kg, the pro-

gramme 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.

8. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

8.1 The laundry load

• Divide the laundry into: white, col-

oured, synthetics, delicates and wool.

• Obey the washing instructions that are

on the laundry care labels.

• Do not wash whites and coloured

items together.

• Some coloured items may run with the

first wash. We recommend you wash

them separately the first time.

• Button up pillowcases, close zippers,

hooks and poppers. Tie up belts.

• Empty the pockets.

• Any laundry with multilayered fabrics,

wool or items with painted illustrations

should be turned inside out before

washing.

• Remove persistent stains before wash-

ing.

• Rub particularly soiled areas with a

special detergent or detergent paste.

• Treat curtains with special care. Re-

move hooks or tie them up in a bag or

net.

• Do not wash in the appliance :

– Laundry without hems or tears.

– Bras with underwire.

– Use a washing bag to wash small

items.

ENGLISH 17

• A very small load can cause balance

problems with the spin phase. If this

occurs, adjust the items in the tub

manually and start the spin phase

again.

8.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is

not sufficient.

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 applica-

ble to the type of stain and fabric.

8.3 Detergents and additives

• Use only detergents and additives rec-

ommended for front load washing ma-

chines.

• Do not mix different types of deter-

gents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of de-

tergent.

• 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 pro-

gramme temperature and the level of

soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set

the prewash phase.

• If your appliance does not have the

detergent dispenser with the flap de-

vice, add the liquid detergents with a

dosing ball.

8.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you

use a water softener for washing ma-

chine. In areas where the water hardness

is soft it is not necessary to use a water

softener.

To know the water hardness in your area,

contact your local water authority.

Obey the instructions that you find on

the packaging of the products.

Equivalent scales measure the water

hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - inter-

national unit for the hardness of wa-

ter).

• Clarke degrees.

soapy water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

With the low temperature programmes it

is possible that some detergent stays in

the drum. Make sure to do a regular

maintenance wash. To do this:

• Empty the laundry from the drum.

• Set the hottest cotton wash pro-

gramme

tergent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open for

a while to prevent mould and to let un-

pleasant smells go out.

Regularly examine the seal and remove

all objects from the inner part.

9.5 Drum

limescale and rust particles.

Only use special products to remove rust

particles from the drum.

the maximum temperature with a

small quantity of detergent.

To clean the dispenser:

Press the lever.
