Cleaning and maintenance

Always unplug your washing machine before cleaning.

Removing scale from your washing machine

.It is usually not necessary to remove scale from the washing machine if the correct amounts of detergent were added.

If you need to remove scale, use a special non-corrosive product specially designed for washing machines, that you can buy in the shop.

Respect the dose and frequency of scale removal shown on the packaging.

After each washing cycle

.We recommend that you leave the cover and drum open after each wash, to air the tank and prevent the formation of mould and bad smells. Clean inside the cover and around the tank inlet using a sponge soaked in water (do not use a scouring pad).

The cladding

Clean the washing machine cladding using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.

Warning: never use alcohol, solvents or similar products, abrasives or a sponge with a scouring pad.

The control panel

Clean the control panel with lukewarm water and a moist sponge.

Removing the detergent dispenser

Press on the clips on each side of the product box and pull it upwards (fig. 1 and fig. 2).

You can thus clean it with running water using a brush or a twisted cloth (fig. 3). Check that the siphons at the back of the product box are not blocked (fig. 4).

Replacing the box

Put the product box back into position in the slots until it clicks into position (fig. 5).
