12. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
12.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with soap and warm
water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
12.2 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 prevent
limescale and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machines. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.
12.5 Cleaning the detergent dispenser
1.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
12.3 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Perform a maintenance wash
regularly. To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
12.4 Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
