11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Before maintenance, disconnect the ap-
pliance from the mains supply.

11.1 External cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.

11.2 Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you use
a water softener for washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles.

To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machine. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.

Always obey the instructions that
you find on the packaging of the
product.

11.3 Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Make regularly a maintenance
wash. To do this:
• Remove the laundry from the drum.
• Set the cotton programme with the

highest temperature with a small quan-
tity of detergent.

11.4 Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part.

11.5 Cleaning the detergent dispenser
