55
Risk of electric shock!
Only ever perform cleaning and
maintenance work when the
appliance is disconnected from the
power.
Disconnect the washing machine
from the mains electricity supply.
Cleaning the external casing
and fascia panel
Damage caused by cleaning
agents.
Solvent based cleaning agents,
abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or
multi-purpose cleaning agents can
cause damage to plastic surfaces
and other parts.
Do not use any of these cleaning
agents.
Risk of damage due to ingress of
water.
The pressure of a water jet can
cause water to get into the washing
machine, resulting in damage to
components.
Do not spray the washing machine
with a water jet.
Clean the casing and control panel
with a mild cleaning agent or soap
and water and dry both with a soft
cloth.
The drum and other stainless steel
parts can be cleaned using a suitable
stainless steel cleaning agent.
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer
Washing at low temperatures and the
use of liquid detergent can lead to a
build-up of mould and bacteria in the
detergent dispenser drawer.
For hygiene reasons, clean the entire
drawer at regular intervals.
Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press
down the release button and at the
same time pull the drawer right out of
the machine.
Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
with warm water.
