TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new
coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon
stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine
off and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to
clean the washing machine.
Cutting off the water and electricity supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using
a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
button,
from forming.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it
must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water
could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
ANTIMICROBIAL SEAL
The seal around the porthole door is made from a special mixture
ensuring antimicrobial protection, thus reducing bacterial proliferation
up to 99.99%.
The seal contains zinc pyrithione, a biocidal substance which reduces the
proliferation of harmful microbes (*) such as batteries and mould prone to
causing stains, unpleasant odours and product deterioration.
(*) According to tests performed by the University of Perugia, Italy
on: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coll, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium digitatum
In rare cases an allergic reaction may be caused by prolonged contact between
seal and skin.
