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 soft- ener to remove limescales.
Use a special product made for wash- ing 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.
DOOR SEAL
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 mainte- nance wash. To do this:
•Empty the laundry from the drum.
•Set the hottest cotton wash pro- gramme
•Use a correct quantity of powder de-
tergent with biological properties. After each wash, keep the door open for a while to prevent mould and to let unpleasant smells go out.
Regularly examine the seal and remove all objects from the inner part.
DRUM
Regularly examine the drum to prevent limescale and rust particles.
Only use special products to remove rust particles 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.
