Maintenance / Care / Cleaning
Cleaning the machine
Do
not
use
solvents!
These
substances can damage parts, toxic
vapors and are explosive!
Do not spray the machine with a jet of
water!
Clean the cabinet and panel with
soapy water or with a commercial
solvent-free, non-abrasive detergent.
Descaling the machine
With the correct dosage of detergent,
a descaling is generally not required.
Descaling agents contain acids, which
can attack parts of the appliance and
cause discoloration to laundry.
If you still want to descale, note the
manufacturer's instructions on the
application.
Cleaning the drum
Remove rust stains caused by broken-
down metal parts with chlorine-free
cleaning agents. Never use steel wool!
Water supply hose
Only for models
without
Aqua-stop:
To avoid water damage, have it
checked by a specialist after about 5
years of operation.
Frost protection
If the unit is in a room that is
susceptible to frost, any remaining
water must be removed immediately
from the drain pump and the water
inlet hose.
Emptying the drain pump
See ‘Cleaning the drain pump’ (page
21).
Draining the water supply hose
Turn off the tap.
For devices without Aqua-Stop:
Unscrew the hose to the
water tap; let the water run
into a container. Screw the
hose back to the tap.
For devices with Aqua-Stop:
Unscrew the hose and allow it
to lie on the on the floor. Turn
on any wash program for
about 40 seconds. Residual
water runs out of the inlet
hose. (Use wipes). Screw the
hose back to the tap.
