13. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Refer to Safety chapters.

13.1 Periodic cleaning schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the

life of your appliance.

After each cycle, keep the door and the

detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air

circulation and dry the humidity inside

the appliance: this will prevent mildew

and odours.

If the appliance is not used for a long

time: close the water tap and unplug the

appliance.

Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling

Maintenance wash Once a month

Clean lid seal

Clean drum

Clean detergent

dispenser

Clean drain pump

filter

Clean the inlet

hose and the valve

filter

The following paragraphs explain how

you should clean each part.

13.2 Removing foreign objects

Make sure that pockets are

empty and all loose

elements are tied up before

running your cycle. Refer to

"The laundry load" in "Hints

and tips".

Remove any foreign objects (such as

metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you

may find in the filters and the drum. Refer

to "Cleaning the drum", "Cleaning the

drain pump" and "Cleaning the inlet hose

and the valve filter" paragraphs. If

necessary, please contact the Authorised

Service Centre.

13.3 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and

warm water only. Fully dry all the

surfaces. Do not use a scouring pads or

any scratching material.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents

or chemical products.

CAUTION!

Do not clean the metal

surfaces with chlorine-based

detergent.

13.4 Descaling

If the water hardness in your

area is high or moderate, we

recommend that you use a

water descaling product for

washing machines.

The water is hard or medium hard when

the hardness exceeds 8dH.

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.

13.5 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.
