Steam programmes

4)

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 drying.

• 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 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 de-

clared 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 ap-

pliance.

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 humid-

ity 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.

At programme start the display shows the duration programme for the

maximum load capacity.

During the washing phase the programme duration is automatically calcu-

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

mum load capacity (e.g. Cotton 60°C, maximum load capacity 10 kg, the

programme duration exceeds 2 hours; real load 1 kg, the programme du-

ration don’t reach 1 hour).

When the appliance is calculating the real programme duration a dot blinks

Longest: Increasing the programme dura-

saves energy and the longer duration main-

normal soil).

Eco Info

The Eco Info stripes (available only in

cotton and synthetics programmes) show

the efficiency of the washing programme

in terms of energy saving:

• 6 stripes: the most efficient setting to

optimize the washing programme

performance.

• 1 stripe: the less efficient setting.

The number of Eco Info stripes changes if

you modify the duration of the washing

programme (refer to Time Manager), the

washing temperature and the laundry

weight. To optimize the washing

programme performance, the stripe

number must increase:

• If you increase the programme

duration, the Eco Info stripes

increases. The increasing the washing

programme duration allows a constant

performance that reduces the energy

consumption.

• If you decrease the washing

temperature, the Eco Info stripes

increases.

Some advices to have the most

efficient setting:

• Set the Time Manager indicators or

.

• Set the possible lower washing

temperature.

• Do not set the Prewash option.

11. HINTS AND TIPS

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.

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.

11.3 Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives

specially made for washing machines:

– powder detergents for all types of

fabric,

– powder detergents for delicate

fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,

– liquid detergents, preferably for low

temperature wash programmes (60

°C max) for all types of fabric, or

special for woollens only.

• Do not mix different types of

detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of

detergent.

• 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.

• If your appliance has not the detergent

dispenser with the flap device, add the

liquid detergents with a dosing ball

(supplied by the detergent's

manufacturer).

11.4 Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash

phase to wash laundry with normal soil.

• Always start a washing programme

with the maximum load of laundry.

• If necessary, use a stain remover when

you set a programme with a low

temperature.

• To use the correct quantity of the

detergent, check the water hardness of

your domestic system

11.5 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you use

a water softener for washing machines. 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.

Use the correct quantity of the water

softener. Obey the instructions that you

find on the packaging of the product.

12. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

12.1 External cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and

warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents

or chemical products.

12.2 Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you use

a water descaling product for washing

machines.

Regularly examine the drum to prevent

limescale and rust particles.

To remove rust particles use only special

products for washing machine. Do this

separately from the laundry wash.

Always obey the instructions

that you find on the

packaging of the product.

12.3 Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programmes it is

possible that some detergent stays in the

drum. Make regularly a maintenance

wash. To do this:

• Remove the laundry from the drum.

• Set the cotton programme with the

highest temperature with a small

quantity of detergent.

12.4 Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove all

objects from the inner part.
