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

a water descaling product for washing
machines.

limescale and rust particles.

products for washing machine. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.

fabrics or shrinks of the
clothing do not over dry
the laundry.

The experience will help you to dry the
laundry in a more correct way. Take note
of the duration drying time of the cycles
done before.
To avoid the static charge at the end of
the drying cycle:
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for
tumble dryers.
When the drying programme is completed
remove the laundry in a short time.

that you find on the

With the low temperature programmes it is
possible that some detergent stays in the

wash. To do this:

highest temperature with a small
quantity of detergent.
