6. CARE AND CLEANING

Do not do any cleaning operation until you have
unplugged the washing machine.

6.1. Descaling the washing machine

Normally there is no need to descale the washing ma-
chine if the detergent was correctly proportioned.
If descaling is necessary, use a special non-corrosive
product specially designed for washing machines that
you can find in the shops. Respect the proportion and
frequency of descaling shown on your packaging.

6.2. The surface

Clean the surface of your washing machine using lu-
kewarm water and a mild detergent. Never use alco-
hol, solvents or similar products.

6.3. The detergents dispenser

penser in order to eliminate the possible wastes of the
detergents and then to avoid an operating problem.
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a li-
ght cleaning.
