gramme with items washed at a temperature lower than 40°C.

Programme Programme description

Steam Cashmere Wool and cashmere. Short programme to refresh maximum 1


kg of machine and hand washable woolen and cashmere gar-
ments without washing. When treating smaller loads, the pro-
gramme duration can be further reduced by means of the
Steam Level option.

Additional programmes

Rinse All fabrics, except woollens and very delicate fabrics. Pro-
gramme for rinsing and spinning the laundry. The default spin
speed is the one used for cotton programmes. Reduce the
spin speed accordingly to the type of laundry. If necessary, set
the Extra Rinse option to add rinses. With a low spin speed the
appliance performs delicate rinses and a short spin.

Spin All fabrics, except woollens and very delicate fabrics. Pro-
gramme for spinning the laundry and draining the water left in
the drum. The default spin speed is the one used for cotton
programmes. Reduce the spin speed accordingly to the type
of laundry.

Drain All fabrics, except woollens and very delicate fabrics. Pro-
gramme for draining the water left in the drum.
1) During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't
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.

19. 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 further details see 'The
ProSense load detection' paragraph in 'Daily Use' chapter.
