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.
16.3 Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature and short programmes can
cause detergent deposits, fluff residues,
bacterial growth and biofilm formation
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 at least once a
month:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of powder detergent.
16.4 Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
16.5 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
rust forming.
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 with empty drum
and with a small quantity of powder
detergent, in order to rinse out any
residues left .
16.6 Cleaning the detergent
dispenser and the salt
compartment
Before cleaning, make sure
that the all compartments
are empty.
To prevent possible deposits of dried
detergent, clotted fabric softener,
formation of mould in the dispenser
drawer and/or salt fouling in the salt
compartment, once in a while carry out
the following cleaning procedure:
1. Open the drawer. Press the catch as
indicated in the picture and pull the
drawer out.
2. Remove the insert for the softener
and, if inserted, the container for
liquid detergent.
