10.3 Detergents and additives

• Only use detergents and additives spe-

cially made for washing machines.

• Do not mix different types of deter-

gents.

• 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

temperature and the level of soil.

• If your appliance has not the detergent

dispenser with the flap device, add the

liquid detergents with a dosing ball.

10.4 Ecological hints

• Set a programme without the prewash

phase to wash laundry with normal soil.

• Always start a washing programme with

the maximum load of laundry.

• If necessary, use a stain remover when

you set a programme with a low tem-

perature.

• To use the correct quantity of the deter-

gent, check the water hardness of your

domestic system

10.5 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.

Use the correct quantity of the water soft-

ener. Obey the instructions that you find

on the packaging of the product.

11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Before maintenance, disconnect the ap-

pliance from the mains supply.

11.1 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.

11.2 Descaling

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you use

a water softener for washing machines.

Regularly examine the drum to prevent

limescale and rust particles.

To remove rust particles use only special

products for washing machine. Do this

separately from the laundry wash.

Always obey the instructions that

you find on the packaging of the

product.

11.3 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:

• Remove the laundry from the drum.

• Set the cotton programme with the

highest temperature with a small quan-

tity of detergent.
