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 for
limescale.
Regular detergents already contain water
softening agents, but we recommend to run
a cycle with an empty drum and a descaling
product.
Always follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging of
the product.
Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial
growth inside the drum and the tub. This
could generate bad odours and mildew. To
eliminate these deposits and clean the inner
part of the appliance, run a maintenance
wash regularly (at least once a month).
Refer to "Cleaning the drum"
paragraph.
Door seal
Regularly examine the seal of the door and
remove all objects from the inner part.
Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to
rusting foreign body in the washing or tap
water containing iron
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the instructions
that you find on the packaging of
the product.
Do not clean the drum with acidic
descaling products, scouring
products containing chlorine or
iron or steel wool.
For a thorough clean:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run the Machine Clean
programme.
For more details, refer to washing
programme table.
3. Add a small quantity of powder
detergent into the empty drum, in order
to rinse out any left residues.
Occasionally, at the end of a cycle
the display may show the icon :
this is a recommendation to
perform the “drum cleaning”.
Once the drum cleaning has been
performed, the icon disappears.
