Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.

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.

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.
Always follow the instructions that
you find on the packaging of the
product.

Maintenance wash

temperature programmes can cause detergent

Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part.

Cleaning the drum

stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions that
you find on the packaging of the
product.
For a thorough clean:
