11. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply before you clean it.
11.1 Descaling
The water we use contains limescale. If it
becomes necessary, use a water softener
to remove limescales.
Use a special product made for washing
machines. Obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the manufactur-
er.
Do this separately from the laundry
wash.
11.2 External cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or

11.3 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it
is possible 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 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 un-
pleasant smells go out.
