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 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.
14.5 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.
• Select the cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small quantity
of detergent.
14.6 Lid seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part. 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 rust
particles.
For a complete cleaning:
1. Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
