Care and Cleaning

Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to
periodically use a water softening powder in the appliance.
Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according
to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will
help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get
a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on
the appliance off by pressing button 7. In case of water
high level and temperature, you must fi rst empty out the
water and then open the door (please read «At the end of
the programme»). If the appliance is spinning, once you set
it to pause, the door can be opened after some minutes.
After closing the door, it is necessary to select the pro-
gramme again and to press the button 8.
12. At the end of the programme
The appliance stops automatically. The display and all the
pilot lights go off. The drum lamp lights up and the door
can be opened.
At the end of a programme with Rinse Hold option, the
door is locked to indicate that there is water in the tub.
To empty out the water follow the following instructions:
• turn the programme selector dial to Spin Only pro-
gramme;
• reduce the spin speed, if needed, by means of the but-
ton 2;
• press button 8;
• at the end of programme, the display and all the pilot
lights go off and it will be possible to open the door,
or turn the programme selector dial to Spin Only pro-
gramme, select the No Spin option and then press but-
ton 8: the water is just drained without spinning.
Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully check if
the drum is empty.
If you do not intend to carry out another wash, close the
water tap.
DO NOT leave the door open. An open door could entice
children to hang on the door or crawl inside the drum.
Note
If there are no small children present, leave the door open
to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant smells.
