Care and maintenance

Regular cleaning

Washing machine-cleaning agents for
maintaining your appliance can be found in
well-stocked supermarkets and drugstores.
Cleaning the appliance using these products
takes place when the washing machine is
empty and is very intensive.
You should clean the appliance in this way
every 30 wash cycles to prevent limescale
deposits and to maintain your appliance.
When doing so, please note the manufactur-
er instructions on the packaging.
Limescale deposits can be avoided us-
ing the right detergent dosage.

Cleaning the drum

NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in damage.
■ Never use harsh cleaning products,
such as a scouring pad, etc.
• If you have used starch or fabric sizing,
wipe out the drum with a moist cloth.
• Rusty metal parts in the washing (e.g. pa-
per clips, etc.) can cause rust stains in the
drum. Use a commercially available rust
remover to remove such rust spots.
• After cleaning, leave the washing drum
and appliance lid open so that any mois-
ture can evaporate.
