15. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
15.1 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 dispenser
Clean drain pump filter
Clean the inlet hose and the
valve filter
The following paragraphs explain how you should clean each part.
15.2 Removing foreign objects
Make sure that pockets are empty and all loose elements are
tied up before running your cycle. Refer to 'The laundry load' in
'Hints and tips'.
