12. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
12.1 External cleaning
Clean the appliance with mild soap and
warm water only. Fully dry all the
surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents
or chemical products.
CAUTION!
Do not clean the metal
surfaces with chlorine-based
detergent.
12.2 Descaling
If the water hardness in your
area is high or moderate, we
recommend that you use a
water descaling product for
washing machines.
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.
12.3 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.
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.
12.5 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign body in the washing or
tap water containing iron
Clean the drum with special products for
stainless steel.
Always follow the
instructions that you find on
the packaging of the
product.
Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling products,
scouring products
containing chlorine or iron or
steel wool.
