CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.

External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION! Do not use alcohol,
solvents or chemical products.
CAUTION! Do not clean the
metal surfaces with chlorine-
based detergent.
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.
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you use
a water softener for washing machines. In
areas where the water hardness is soft it
is not necessary to use a water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener.
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"
paragraph.
Door seal with double lip trap
This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light
fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be
drained out with the water, in such a way
that there is no need by the customer to
access this area for regular maintenance
and cleaning.
