Clean the appliance only with soap and warm
water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

chemical products.

The water we use contains limescale. If it be-
comes necessary, use a water softener to re-
move limescales.

chines. Obey the instructions that you find on

Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a water
softener for washing machines. In areas where
the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to
use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area, con-
tact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the
packaging of the products.
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is
possible that some detergent stays in the
drum. Make regularly a maintenance wash. To
do this:
• Empty the laundry from the drum.
• Set the hottest cotton wash programme
• Use a correct quantity of powder detergent
with biological properties.
After each wash, keep the door open for a
while to prevent mould and to let unpleasant
smells go out.
Drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent lime-
scale and rust particles.
