taining clip at the point where it comes
out of the casing;
– the inlet and outlet hoses are brittle,
cracked or creased;

foreign objects such as button, paper

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
using the right detergent dosage.
Cleaning the door

1. Pull back the folds of the rubber
sleeve (16) carefully and remove all ob-
jects from behind it.
2. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the in-
side and outside of the door and rubber
sleeve (16), and then wipe them both dry.
