14.2 Removing foreign
objects
Make sure that pockets are
empty and all loose
elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to
'The laundry load' in 'Hints
and tips'.
Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you
may find in the door seal, the filters and
the drum. Refer to 'Door seal with double
lip trap', 'Cleaning the drum', 'Cleaning
the drain pump' and 'Cleaning the inlet
hose and the valve filter' paragraphs. If
necessary, please contact the Authorised
Service Centre.
14.3 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the
surfaces.
Do not use a scouring pads or any
scratching material.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
14.4 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.
14.5 Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programs 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 program with the
highest temperature without
detergent.
14.6 Door seal
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. Regularly
examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other
small items can be recovered at the end
of the cycle.
Clean it when needed, using ammonia
cream cleanser agent without scratching
the seal surface.
Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.
14.7 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
