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.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with 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 hygienize
the inner part of the appliance, run a
maintenance wash regularly (at least once
a month):
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of powder detergent or, if
available, run the Machine Clean
programme.
Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign body in the washing or
tap water containing iron.
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging
of the product.
Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling products,
scouring products containing
chlorine or iron or steel.
For a thorough clean:
1. Clean the drum with special products
for stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging
of the product.
2. Run a short cotton programme at high
temperature with empty drum and with
a small quantity of powder detergent
or, if available, run the Machine Clean
programme.
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser
To prevent possible deposits of dried
detergent or clotted fabric softener and/or
formation of mould in the detergent
dispenser drawer, once in a while carry
out the following cleaning procedure:
1. Open the drawer. Press the catch
downwards as indicated in the picture
