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.

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.
Door seal
Regularly examine the seal of the door and
remove all objects from the inner part.

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.
