Use liquid delicate detergent, like wool detergent. Outdoor Do not use fabric softener and make sure that there is no soften‐ er residue in the detergent dispenser. Outdoor clothing, technical, sport fabrics, waterproof and breathable jackets, shell jackets with a removable fleece or inner insulation. The recommended laundry load is 2,5 kg. This programme can also be used as water-repellent restoring cycle, specifically tailored for treating clothes with a hydrophobic coating. To perform the water-repel‐ lent restoring cycle, proceed as follows:

• Pour the washing detergent in the compartment .

• Pour a special water-repellent restorer for fabric in the drawer compartment for fabric softener .

• Reduce the laundry load to 1 kg. To further improve the water-repellent restoring action, dry the laundry in a tumble dryer by setting the Outdoor drying pro‐ gramme (if available and if the garment care label permits tumble drying). Machine clean Maintenance cycle with hot water to clean and freshen the drum and to remove resi‐ due that may cause odour. Before running this cycle, remove all items from the drum.

Hygiene White cotton items. This high-performance wash programme combined with steam vapour, removes more than 99,99% of bacteria and viruses

keeping the tempera‐ ture above 60°C throughout the washing phase; with an additional action on the fi‐ bers thanks to a vapour phase, an enhanced rinsing phase ensures a proper remov‐ al of detergent and micro-organism residues. This programme ensures also a prop‐ er reduction of pollens/allergenic items.

During this cycle the drum rotates slowly to ensure a gentle wash. It can seem that the drum doesn't rotate or doesn't rotate properly, but this is normal for this programme.

After the drum cleaning, run a further rinse cycle with empty drum and no detergent to remove any residue of bleach.

According to Commission Regulation EU 2019/2023, this programme at 40 °C is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle. For the reached temperature in the laundry, the programme duration and other data, please refer to 'Con‐ sumption Values' chapter. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower tem‐ peratures and longer duration.

This option is not available with temperature lower than 40 °C.

If you set the shortest duration, we recommend that you decrease the load size. It is possible to fully load the appliance, however the washing results can be less satisfactory. Suitable detergents for washing programmes Programme Universal powder

At temperature higher than 60 °C the use of powder detergent is recommended. -- = Not recommended ▲ = Recommended

11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.

11.1 Periodic cleaning schedule

Periodic cleaning helps to extend the life of your appliance. After each cycle, keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly open to get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance. If the appliance is not used for a long time: close the water tap and unplug the appliance. Indicative periodic cleaning schedule:

Descaling Twice a year Maintenance wash Once a month Clean door seal Every two months

Clean drum Every two months Clean detergent dispens‐

Every two months Clean drain pump filter Twice a year Clean the inlet hose and the valve filter Twice a year

11.2 Removing foreign objects

Make sure that pockets are empty and all loose elements are tied up before running your cycle. Remove any foreign objects (such as metal clip, buttons, coins, etc) that you may find in the door seal, the filters and the drum. Refer 58 ENGLISHto "Door seal with double lip trap", "Cleaning the drum", "Cleaning the drain pump" and "Cleaning the inlet hose and the valve filter" paragraphs. Be careful with curtains. Remove the hooks and put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase. If necessary, please contact the Authorised Service Centre.

11.3 External cleaning

Clean the appliance with mild soap and warm water only. Fully dry all the surfaces. Do not use a scouring pads or any scratching material. CAUTION! Do not use alcohol, solvents or chemical products. CAUTION! Do not clean the metal surfaces with chlorine-based detergent.

If the water in your area is hard or medium hard, we recommend that you use a water softener for washing machines. Regularly examine the drum to check for limescale. The regular detergents already contain water softening agents, but we recommend to run a cycle with empty drum and a descaling product occasionally. Always follow the instructions that you find on the packaging of the product.

11.5 Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature programmes can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth inside the drum and the tub. This could generate bad odours and mildew.

• Use less detergent if: – you are washing a small load, – the laundry is lightly soiled, – there is large amounts of foam during washing.

• When using detergent tabs or pods, always put them inside the drum, not in the detergent dispenser and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Insufficient detergent may cause:

• unsatisfactory washing results,

• the wash load to turn grey,

• mould in the appliance. Excessive detergent may cause:

• reduced washing effect,
