■
Cleaning the washing drum
•
If you live in a hard water area, limescale may continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen and thus
not easily removed.
•
Over time the build up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check these may have to be replaced.
•
Although the washing drum is made of stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles (paper
clips, safety pins) which have been left in the drum.
•
The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
•
If you use descaling agents, dyes or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
❈
Descaler may contain chemicals that may damage part of your washing machine.
❈
Remove any spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
❈
Never use steel wool.
