Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is possible that
some detergent stays in the drum. Make regularly a
maintenance wash. To do this:
• Empty the laundry from the drum.
• Set the hottest cotton wash programme
• Use a correct quantity of powder detergent with bio-
logical properties.
After each wash, keep the door open for a while to pre-
vent mould and to let unpleasant smells go out.
Drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent limescale and
rust particles.
Only use special products to remove rust particles from
the drum.
To do this:
• Clean the drum with special product for stainless
steel.
• Start a short programme for cotton at the maximum
temperature with a small quantity of detergent.
Door seal

jects from the inner part.
