40° C1.5 kgSteam programme for  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)  Press Extra Rinse button to add rinses. With a low spin speed the appliance performs delicate rinses.
and a short spin.
5)  This programme is for daily use and has lowest energy and water consumption maintaining a good
washing performance.
6)  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 «Stand-
ard 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.
7)  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!
8)  Steam does not remove animal odours.

							11. HINTS AND TIPSWARNING!
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 recommendthat 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 withnormal 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 lowtemperature.
• To use the correct quantity of the detergent, check the water hardnessof your domestic system

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.
