Care and cleaning the washing machine’s rubber door seal

Issue

• Care and cleaning the washing machine’s rubber door seal.

Applies to

• Front Load Washer
• Front Load Washer Dryer

Solution

This appliance is designed with a self-cleaning draining system, allowing light fluff fibres that fall off the clothes to be drained out with the water.

After each cycle

• Regularly examine the seal. Coins, buttons, other small items can be recovered at the end of the cycle.

• keep the door and the detergent dispenser slightly ajar to get air circulation and dry the humidity inside the appliance: this will prevent mildew and odours.

Maintenance wash

The repeated and prolonged use of low temperature and short programs can cause detergent deposits, fluff residues, bacterial growth and biofilm formation inside the drum and the tub. This could generate bad odours and mildew. Run a maintenance wash at least once a month:

1. Remove all laundry from the drum.

2. Select ‘Machine Clean’ cycle or if your product does not have this as a pre-set cycle, run a cotton program with the highest temperature without detergent.
