Electrolux EW6F348SA User Manual page 37

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.
12.3 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"
paragraph.
12.4 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.
12.5 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign body in the washing or
tap water containing iron
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling products,
scouring products containing
chlorine or iron or steel wool.
For a thorough clean:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Deactivate AutoDose function for
detergent and softener.
3. Run a Cottons
the highest temperature.
4. Add a manually small quantity of
powder detergent or a specific
product 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". Once
the drum cleaning has been
performed, the icon
disappears.
12.6 Cleaning the detergent
dispenser and the AutoDose
tanks
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 detergent
dispenser and/or clotted liquid additives
in the AutoDose tanks, once in a while
