11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply before you clean it.
11.1 Descaling
The water we use contains limescale. If it
becomes necessary, use a water softener
to remove limescales.
Use a special product made for washing
machines. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the manufactur-
er.
Do this separately from the laundry
wash.
11.2 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:
• Empty the laundry from the drum.
• Set the hottest cotton wash pro-
gramme

• Use a correct quantity of powder de-
tergent with biological properties.
After each wash, keep the door open for
a while to prevent mould and to let un-
pleasant smells go out.
11.3 External cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.
11.4 Drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles.
Only use special products to remove rust
particles from the drum.
To do this:
• Clean the drum with special product
for stainless steel.
• Start a short programme for cotton at
the maximum temperature with a
small quantity of detergent.
