DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES

• Only use detergents and additives spe-

cially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of detergents.

• To help the environment, do not use

more than the correct quantity of deter-

gent.

• Obey the instructions that you find on the

on packaging of these products.

• Use the correct products for the type and

colour of the fabric, the programme tem-

perature and the level of soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set

the prewash phase.

• If your appliance has not the detergent

dispenser with the flap device, add the

liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

WATER HARDNESS

If the water hardness in your area is high or

moderate, we recommend that you use a

water softener for washing machines. In

areas where the water hardness is soft it is

not necessary to use a water softener.

To know the water hardness in your area,

contact your local water authority.

Obey the instructions that you find on the

packaging of the products.

Equivalent scales measure the water hard-

ness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - interna-

tional unit for the hardness of water).

• Clarke degrees.

CARE AND CLEANING

Warning!

Disconnect the appliance from the mains

supply before you clean it.

DESCALING

The water we use contains limescale. If it

becomes necessary, use a water softener

to remove limescales.

Use a special product made for washing

machines. Obey the instructions that you

find on the packaging of the manufacturer.

Do this separately from the laundry wash.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Clean the appliance only with soap and

warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

Caution! Do not use alcohol, solvents

or chemical products.

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 deter-

gent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open for a

while to prevent mould and to let unpleas-

ant smells go out.
