gramme temperature and the level of

soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not set

the prewash phase.

• If your appliance does not have the

detergent dispenser with the flap de-

vice, add the liquid detergents with a

dosing ball.

9.4 Water hardness

If the water hardness in your area is high

or moderate, we recommend that you

use a water softener for washing ma-

chines. In areas where the water hard-

ness 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

hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

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

national unit for the hardness of wa-

ter).

• Clarke degrees.

10. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Disconnect the appliance from the mains

supply before you clean it.

10.1 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 manufactur-

er.

Do this as an extra wash cycle without

laundry.

10.2 External cleaning

Only clean the appliance with warm

soapy water. Fully dry all the surfaces.

CAUTION!

Do not use alcohol, solvents or

chemical products.

10.3 Maintenance wash

With the low temperature programmes it

is possible that some detergent stays in

the drum. Make sure to do a regular

maintenance wash. To do this:

• Empty the laundry from the drum.

• Set the hottest cotton wash pro-

gramme

• Use a correct quantity of powder de-

tergent with biological properties.

After each wash, keep the door open for

a while to prevent mould and to let un-

pleasant smells go out.
