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.
13.3 Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues,
bacterial growth inside the drum and the
tub. This could generate bad odours and
mildew. To eliminate these deposits and
clean the inner part of the appliance, run
a maintenance wash regularly (at least
once a month).
Refer to Cleaning the drum
chapter.
13.4 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, in such a way
that there is no need by the customer to
access this area for regular maintenance
and cleaning.
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part. Coins,
buttons, other small items forgotten in
the pockets of your clothes are deposited
during the washing cycle in the special
double lip trap in the porthole seal, where
they can be conveniently recovered at
the end of the cycle.
13.5 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
rust forming.
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
For a thorough clean:
• Remove all laundry from the
drum.
• Run a Хлопок programme with
the highest temperature. Add a
small quantity of powder
detergent into the empty drum, in
order to rinse out any left
residues.
Occasionally, at the end of a
cycle the display may show
the icon
recommendation to perform
the "drum cleaning".
13.6 Cleaning the detergent
