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.
Regular detergents already contain water softening
agents, but we recommend to run a cycle with an
empty drum and a descaling product occasionally.

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 clean
the inner part of the appliance, run a maintenance
wash regularly (at least once a month).
Refer to Cleaning the drum chapter.
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
wool.
For a thorough clean:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a Cottons programme with the highest
temperature.
3. Add a small quantity of powder detergent into
the empty drum, in order to rinse out any left
residues.
DOOR SEAL WITH DOUBLE LIP TRAP
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.
