Descaling
The water we use contains limescale. If it
becomes necessary, use a water softener
to remove limescales.
Use a special product made for washing
machines. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the manufacturer.
Do this separately from the laundry wash.
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is
possible that some detergent stays in the
drum. Make regularly a maintenance wash.
To do this:
• Empty the laundry from the drum.
• Set the hottest cotton wash programme
• Use a correct quantity of powder deter-
gent with biological properties.
After each wash, keep the door open for a
while to prevent mould and to let unpleas-
ant smells go out.
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 quan-
tity of detergent.
Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove all
objects from the inner part.
Detergent dispenser
To clean the dispenser:
1. Press the lever and pull the dispenser
out.
2. Remove the top part of the liquid addi-
tive compartment.
3. Clean all the parts with water.
4. Clean the dispenser recess with a
brush.
5. Put back the dispenser in the recess.
Drain pump
Regularly examine the drain pump and
make sure that it is clean.
Clean the pump if:
• The appliance does not drain the water.
