10.2 Steam programmes

The Steam programmes can be used for reducing wrinkles and odours on garments (such as cottons, synthetics, mixed fabrics, including delicates) that just need to be refreshed, in a short time, avoiding washing. The fabric fibres are relaxed and afterwards ironing becomes effortless. When the cycle is completed, quickly remove the laundry from the drum. The cycle duration can be reduced till 15 minutes by means of the Time Save option. DO NOT set this mode with the following type of items:

• Items that are not suitable for tumble drying. ENGLISH 163• Items with label "Dry clean only". Do not use any detergent! The Steam programmes do not remove particularly intense odour and do not perform any hygienic cycle. After the steam treatment the laundry can be humid. Hang items out for a few minutes. The fragrance (Electrolux Steam Fragrance) The Electrolux Steam Fragrance allows you to refresh even your delicate clothes, removing wrinkles and adding freshness with a gentle fragrance developed exclusively by Electrolux. By refreshing your garments with steam, rather than running full wash cycles, you will keep your clothes looking and feeling new longer. You can even safely use the fragrance with Cashmere and Steam programmes - if they are available - for delicate fabrics like cashmere and wool. When treating smaller load reduce the fragrance dosage and the cycle duration: in only fifteen minutes, your clothes will regain that "just washed" feeling. Read carefully the instructions supplied with the fragrance. DO NOT:

• Tumble dry the garments treated with fragrance. Its benefit would evaporate.

• Use the fragrance with different purposes than those here described.

The Eco 40-60 is the default proposed programme when the appliance is turned on, the one to which the information of the energy label relates. The indicator of the Start/Pause button flashes. The display shows an indicative programme duration, the maximum declared load for the set programme (only for a few seconds), the default temperature, the default spin speed and the washing phase indicators (when available).

2. To change the temperature and/or the

spin speed, touch the related buttons.

3. If desired, set one or more options by

touching the related buttons. The related indicators come on in the display and the given information changes accordingly. In case a selection is not possible an acoustic signal sounds.

About 20 minutes after the programme start, the programme duration could be adjusted again depending on the capacity of water absorption of the fabrics. The ProSense detection is carried out with complete washing programmes only (no skipping phase selected). The ProSense is not available with some programmes, such as Wool, programmes with short cycles and without washing phase. In certain programmes the duration of cycle could be the same for different load size, but water and energy consumption are anyway tailored made to achieve best results.
