15. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
15.1 Periodic cleaning
schedule
Periodic cleaning helps to extend the
life of your appliance.
After each cycle, keep the door and the
detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air
circulation and dry the humidity inside
the appliance: this will prevent mildew
and odours.
If the appliance is not used for a long
time: close the water tap and unplug the
appliance.
Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:
Descaling Twice a year
Maintenance wash Once a month
Clean lid seal Every two months
Clean drum Every two months
Clean detergent dis‐
penser

Clean drain pump
filter

Clean the inlet hose
and the valve filter

The following paragraphs explain how
you should clean each part.
15.2 Removing foreign
objects
Make sure that pockets are
empty and all loose
elements are tied up before
running your cycle. Refer to
'The laundry load' in 'Hints
and tips'.
Remove any foreign objects (such as
metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you
may find in the filters and the drum. Refer
to 'Cleaning the drum', 'Cleaning the
drain pump' and 'Cleaning the inlet hose
and the valve filter' paragraphs. If
necessary, please contact the Authorised
Service Centre.
15.3 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the
surfaces. Do not use a scouring pads or
any scratching material.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
15.4 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.
15.5 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.
