12.2 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 any
limescale.
The regular detergents already contain
water softening agents, but we
recommend to run a cycle with empty
drum and a descaling product
occasionally.
For an efficient descaling action, we
suggest our products: Electrolux Clean &
Care and Electrolux descaler.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
12.3 Maintenance wash
The repeated and prolonged use of low
temperature programmes can cause
detergent deposits, fluff residues,
bacterial growth and biofilm formation
inside the drum and the tub. This could
generate bad odours and mildew.
To eliminate these deposits and
hygienize the inner part of the appliance,
run a maintenance wash regularly (at
least once a month):
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a cotton programme with the
highest temperature with a small
quantity of powder detergent.
It is possible to use a special
hygienizing product, e.g.
Electrolux Clean & Care,
Electrolux Super Clean.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
12.4 Door seal
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part.
12.5 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
rust particles.
For a complete cleaning:
1. Clean the drum with special products
for stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
2.
Run a short cotton programme at
high temperature with empty drum
and with a small quantity of powder
detergent , in order to rinse out any
left residues.
12.6 Cleaning the detergent
dispenser
To prevent possible deposits of dried
detergent or clotted fabric softener
and/or formation of mould in the
detergent dispenser drawer, once in a
while carry out the following cleaning
procedure:
1. Open the drawer. Press the catch
downwards as indicated in the
picture and pull it out.
