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.

jects from behind it.
