CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply before you clean it.
DESCALING
The water we use contains limescale. If
it becomes necessary, use a water soft-
ener to remove limescales.
Use a special product made for wash-
ing machines. Obey the instructions
that you find on the packaging of the
manufacturer.
Do this separately from the laundry
wash.
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.
MAINTENANCE WASH
With the low temperature programmes
it is possible that some detergent stays
in the drum. Make regularly a mainte-
nance wash. To do this:
• Empty the laundry from the drum.
• Set the hottest cotton wash pro-
gramme
• Use a correct quantity of powder de-
tergent with biological properties.
After each wash, keep the door open
for a while to prevent mould and to let
unpleasant smells go out.
DOOR SEAL
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
DRUM
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles.
Only use special products to remove
rust particles from the drum.
To do this:
• Clean the drum with special product
for stainless steel.
• Start a short programme for cotton at
the maximum temperature with a
small quantity of detergent.
