16.2 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 door seal, the filters and the drum. Refer
to "Door seal with double lip trap", "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.
16.3 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.
16.4 Descaling
If the water in your area is hard or
medium hard, we recommend that you
use a water softener 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.
Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
16.5 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" paragraph.
16.6 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. Regularly examine the seal.
Coins, buttons, other small items can be
recovered at the end of the cycle.
Clean it when needed, using ammonia cream
cleanser agent without scratching the seal
surface.
Always obey the instructions that you find
on the packaging of the product.
Check and remove objects (if there are any)
that could be trapped in the fold.
Make sure that no laundry remains between
the seal and the door.
Use a moist cloth to wipe off any dirt or water
residue left behind in the door seal after
completion of program cycle.
16.7 Cleaning the drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent
unwanted deposits.
