17. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
17.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the
surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
17.2 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.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.
1. Use fabric conditioner in the washing
cycle.
2. Use special fabric conditioner for
tumble dryers.
3. Do not pour any detergent or
softener before a drying cycle.
4. Do not dry rough and smooth textiles
together, to avoid scorching on
smooth garments.
5. Remove all objects from garment
pockets, especially melting objects.
When the drying programme is
completed remove the laundry in a short
time.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
17.3 Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature and short programmes can
cause detergent deposits, fluff residues
and bacterial growth inside the drum and
the tub. This could generate bad odours
and mildew.
To eliminate these deposits and
hygienize the inner part of the appliance,
run a maintenance wash after about 60
cycles, especially when the message
Cleaning cycle recommended pops up
on the display:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a short cotton programme at
high temperature with empty drum
and with a small quantity of powder
detergent or, if available, run the
Machine Clean programme.
If the cleaning programme is
postponed, the message
keeps on popping up during
next uses until it is run.
