CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

15.1 

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.

15.2 

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 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.

15.3 

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

clean the inner part of the appliance, run

a maintenance wash regularly (at least

once a month).

Refer to Cleaning the drum

chapter.

15.4 

Door seal

Regularly examine the seal and remove

all objects from the inner part.

15.5 

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.

2.

Run the Machine Clean programme.

For more details, refer to washing

programme table.

3.

Add a small quantity of powder

detergent into the empty drum, in

order to rinse out any left residues.

Occasionally, at the end of a

cycle the display may show
the icon 

: this is a

recommendation to perform

the “drum cleaning”. Once

the drum cleaning has been

performed, the icon

disappears.
