tips'.
Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you

water only. Fully dry all the surfaces. Do
not use a scouring pads or any scratching
material.

Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not use the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
11.4
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 prevent
limescale and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special
products for washing machines. Do this
separately from the laundry wash.
Always obey the instructions
that you find on the
packaging of the product.
11.5
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 with a small
quantity of detergent.
11.6
Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part.
11.7
Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
limescale and rust particles. Only use
special products to remove rust particles
from the drum.
We suggest you to:
1.
Clean the drum with special product
for stainless steel.
2.
Start a short programme for cotton at
the maximum temperature with a
small quantity of detergent.
