14.1 Periodic cleaning
schedule
Periodic cleaning helps to extend the
life of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air
circulation and dry the humidity inside
the appliance: this will prevent mildew
and odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long
time: close the water tap and unplug the
appliance.
Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:
Descaling
Maintenance wash
Clean door seal
Clean drum
Clean detergent dis‐
penser
Clean the inlet hose
and the valve filter

you should clean each part.

Do not clean the metal

14.4 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
any limescale.
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.
14.5 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
hygienize the inner part of the appliance,
run a maintenance wash regularly (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 or, if
available, run the Čištění pračky
programme.
14.6 Door seal
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. Regularly
examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other
small items can be recovered at the end
of the cycle.
