Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is applicable
to the type of stain and fabric.
Detergents and additives
• Only use detergents and additives
specially made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of
fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate
fabrics (40 °C max) and woollens,
– liquid detergents, preferably for low
temperature wash programmes (60
°C max) for all types of fabric, or
special for woollens only.
• Do not mix different types of
detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use
more than the correct quantity of
detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on
the on packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type
and colour of the fabric, the programme
temperature and the level of soil.
• If your appliance does not have the
detergent dispenser with the flap
device, add the liquid detergents with a
dosing ball (supplied by the detergent's
manufacturer).
Ecological hints
• Always start a washing programme
with the maximum load of laundry
allowed.
• If necessary, use a stain remover when
you 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 know the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water authority.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey 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 soap and warm
water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION! Do not use alcohol,
solvents or chemical products.
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.
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.
