17.4 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 for
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.
17.5 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
Drum Clean programme.
17.6 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.
