Cleaning and care
To prolong the service life of the washing machine, keep it in good condition and
perform regular maintenance.
WARNING!
For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washing machine is
disconnected from the mains power supply and the water tap is closed.
Cleaning the cabinet
(when required)
• Use a soft cloth to wipe any water or dirt off the washer housing.
• To remove dirt and stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth. Squeeze
it almost dry to avoid leaving water residues.
Cleaning the drum
(once a month)
• Make sure all laundry items are removed from the drum, then wipe it clean with a
soft dry or damp cloth.
• If you notice any rust residues left inside the drum from washing items with metal
parts (such as buttons or zippers), wipe the residues off immediately with chlorine-
free detergent. Never use steel wool.
• To remove dirt and/or detergent residues from the drum, run the
Drum Clean
program without any clothes or detergent.
•
IMPORTANT!
Cleaning the inside of your washing machine regularly is particularly
important
if you frequently use a cold wash cycle
, especially if you also use a
fabric softener. Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around
the outside of the drum, which cold water will not remove and which can cause
bacteria, unpleasant odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load.
•
To remove scum build-up from the inside and outside of the washing machine’s
drum, run a the
Drum Clean
program without clothes and detergent.
WARNING!
Do not use any solvents, alcohol, harsh chemicals, alkaline or abrasive cleaning
agents, or sharp objects, to avoid damaging the surface. Do not spray water directly
onto the washer housing.
