Descaling
If the water hardness in your
area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a
water descaling product for
washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.
Regular detergents already contain water
softening agents, but we recommend to
run a cycle with an empty drum and a
descaling product occasionally.
Always follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging
of the product.
Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial
growth inside the drum and the tub. This
could generate bad odours and mildew.
To eliminate these deposits and clean the
inner part of the appliance, run a
maintenance wash regularly (at least once
a month).
Refer to Cleaning the drum
chapter.
Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
rust forming.
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging
of the product.
For a thorough clean:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
Occasionally, at the end of a
cycle the display may show the
icon : this is a
recommendation to perform the
"drum cleaning".
