14.4 Descaling
If the water hardness in your area is high
or moderate, we recommend that you
use a water descaling product for
washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to check for
limescale.
The regular detergents already contain water
softening agents, but we recommend to run a
cycle with empty drum and a descaling
product occasionally.
Always follow the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
14.5 Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is
possible that some detergent stays in the
drum. Perform a maintenance wash regularly.
To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton programme with the
highest temperature or use if is available
programme Limp. Máquina. Add a small
quantity of powder detergent into empty
drum, in order to rinse out any left
residues.
14.6 Door seal
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.
14.7 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.
For a thorough clean:
1. Remove all laundry from the drum.
2. Run a Algod. programme with the highest
temperature.
3. Add a small quantity of powder detergent
into the empty drum, in order to rinse out
any left residues.
Occasionally, at the end of a cycle the
display may show the icon : this is a
recommendation to perform the “drum
cleaning”. Once the drum cleaning has
been performed, the icon disappears.
14.8 Cleaning the detergent
dispenser

detergent, clotted fabric softener, formation of
mould in the detergent dispenser, once in a
while carry out the following cleaning
procedure:
1. Open the detergent dispenser. Press the
catch downwards as indicated in the
