used for exhausting fumes from any appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
• The operating water pressure at the water entry point

Steam
Steam can be used for dried, washed or worn once laun-

and make your laundry softer.

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 to be washed at a temperature lower than 40°C.
• 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.

rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.
2) 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 be
ironed however with less effort.

17. CONSUMPTION VALUES

Stated values are obtained in laboratory conditions with relevant stand-
ards. Different causes can change the data: the quantity and type of
laundry and ambient temperature. Water pressure, the supply voltage
and the temperature of inlet water may also affect the washing pro-
gramme duration.

Technical specifications may be changed without prior notice to improve

the quality of product.

During the washing programme, the Prosense technology can vary the
wash duration and the consumption values. For more details see 'The
Prosense load detection' paragraph in 'Daily Use' chapter.
