At the end of the steam cycle clothes come out with a residual humidity appropriate for ironing.

Selected tumble dryers from Electrolux include a Steam programme.

• If necessary, remove stains by washing or using localised stain removal.
• Steam programmes do not perform any hygienic cycle.
• We don’t recommend fabric softener sheets with a steam cycle as it may cause staining on clothes.
