gents.

more than the correct quantity of de-

tergent.

on the on packaging of these prod-

ucts.

• Use the correct products for the type

and colour of the fabric, the pro-

gramme temperature and the level of

soil.

• If you use liquid detergents, do not

set the prewash phase.

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

hardness:

• German degrees (°dH).

• French degrees (°TH).

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

national unit for the hardness of wa-

ter).

• 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 soft-

ener to remove limescales.

Use a special product made for wash-

ing 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 mainte-

nance wash. To do this:

• Empty the laundry from the drum.
