Electrolux EW2F3048E2 User Manual page 27

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.
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 clean the inner
part of the appliance, run a maintenance
wash regularly (at least once a month).
Refer to Cleaning the drum chapter.
14.6 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to
rusting foreign body in the washing or tap
water containing iron
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
Do not clean the drum with acidic
descaling products, scouring products
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
For a thorough clean:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a Cottons programme with the
highest temperature.
3. Add a small quantity of powder detergent
into the empty drum, in order to rinse out
any left residues.
14.7 Door seal with double lip trap
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.
Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream
cleanser agent without scratching the seal
surface.
Always obey the instructions that you find
on the packaging of the product.
