• Always start a washing programme with the
maximum load of laundry allowed.
• If you pre-treat the stains or use a stain remover,
set a programme with a low temperature.
• To use the correct quantity of detergent, check
the water hardness of your domestic system.
Refer to "Water hardness".
WATER HARDNESS
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a water
softener for washing machines. In areas where the
water hardness is soft it is not necessary to use a
water softener.
To find out the water hardness in your area, contact
your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of water softener. Follow
the instructions that you find on the packaging of
the product.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water
only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION! Do not use alcohol,
solvents or chemical products.
CAUTION! Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
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.
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.
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.
DOOR SEAL
Regularly examine the seal and remove all objects
from the inner part.
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 the Machine Clean programme. For more
details, refer to washing programme table.
3. Add a small quantity of powder detergent into
the empty drum, in order to rinse out any left
residues.
