warm water only. Fully dry all the
surfaces.

15.2 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.
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.
15.3 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.
15.4 Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
15.5 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
rust forming.
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.

instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
For a thorough clean:
• Remove all laundry from the
drum.
• Run the Machine Clean
programme . For more details,
refer to washing programme
table.
Occasionally, at the end of a
cycle the display may show
the icon
recommendation to perform
