User manual

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.
12.3 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
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.
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.
