12.4 Door seal with double lip
trap
This appliance is designed with a self
cleaning draining system, allowing light
fluff fibers that fall off the clothes to be
drained out with the water, in such a way
that there is no need by the customer to
access this area for regular maintenance
and cleaning.
Regularly examine the seal and remove
all objects from the inner part. Coins,
buttons, other small items forgotten in
the pockets of your clothes are
deposited during the washing cycle in
the special double lip trap in the
porthole seal, where they can be
conveniently recovered at the end of the
cycle.

Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due

the packaging of the

acidic descaling products,
