CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply before you clean it.
Descaling
The water we use contains limescale. If it becomes necessary, use a water softener to re-
move limescales.
Use a special product made for washing machines. Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the manufacturer.
Do this separately from the laundry wash.
External cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products.
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is possible that some detergent stays in the drum.
Make regularly a maintenance wash. To do this:
• Empty the laundry from the drum.
• Set the hottest cotton wash programme
• Use a correct quantity of powder detergent with biological properties.
After each wash, keep the door open for a while to prevent mould and to let unpleasant
smells go out.
