Make sure that pockets are

'The laundry load' in 'Hints
and tips'.
Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you

recommend that you use a
water descaling product for

Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
