14.4 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
any limescale.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
14.5 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible that some detergent stays in
the drum. Perform a maintenance wash
regularly. To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton programme with the
highest temperature or use if is
available programme Limp. Máquina.
Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into empty drum, in order to
rinse out any left residues.
14.6 Door seal
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.
14.7 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
rust particles.
For a complete cleaning:
1. Clean the drum with special products
for stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
2. Run a short cotton programme at
high temperature or use if is available
programme Limp. Máquina. Add a
small quantity of powder detergent
into empty drum, in order to rinse out
any left residues.
