dispenser slightly ajar to get air circulation and dry
the humidity inside the appliance: this will prevent
mildew and odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long time: close

CAUTION! Do not use the metal

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.
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.
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.
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.
