13. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
13.1 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.
13.2 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.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
13.3 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 or use if is
available programme Machine Clean.
Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into empty drum, in order
to rinse out any left residues.
13.4 Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
13.5 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
rust particles.
For a complete cleaning:
1. Clean the drum with special products
for stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
2. Run a short cotton programme at
high temperature or use if is available
programme Machine Clean. Add a
small quantity of powder detergent
into empty drum, in order to rinse
out any left residues.
