CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION! Do not use alcohol,
solvents or chemical products.
CAUTION! Do not clean the
metal surfaces with chlorine-
based detergent.
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 occasionally.
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 with double lip trap
This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light
fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be
drained out with the water, in such a way
that there is no need by the customer to
access this area for regular maintenance
and cleaning.
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part. Coins,
buttons, other small items forgotten in the
pockets of your clothes are deposited
during the washing cycle in the special
double lip trap in the porthole seal, where
they can be conveniently recovered at the
end of the cycle.
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.
