• If your appliance has not the detergent dis-
penser with the flap device, add the liquid de-
tergents with a dosing ball.
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a water
softener for washing machines. In areas where
the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to
use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area, con-
tact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the pack-
aging of the products.
Care and cleaning
Warning!
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply
before you clean it.
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.
Descaling
The water we use contains limescale. If it be-
comes necessary, use a water softener to re-
move limescales.
Use a special product made for washing ma-
chines. Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the manufacturer.
Do this separately from the laundry wash.
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is pos-
sible 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.
Drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent limescale
and rust particles.
Only use special products to remove rust parti-
cles from the drum.
To do this:
• Clean the drum with special product for
stainless steel.
• Start a short programme for cotton at the
maximum temperature with a small quantity of
detergent.
Door seal
Regularly examine the
seal and remove all
objects from the inner
part.
