Cleaning the drum (Hygiene
info)
If you only wash at low temperatures or
with liquid detergent over a long period
of time, organic deposits and
unpleasant odours can form in the
machine. To clean the drum and
prevent the formation of unpleasant
odours, the
Cottons 75°C programme
should be run with a universal
detergent at least once a month or
when the message
Hygiene info
appears in the display.

Disconnect the machine from the

Clean the casing with a mild non-

water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable proprietary stainless-steel
cleaning agent following the
manufacturer's instructions on the

cleaners, glass cleaners or all-
purpose cleaning agents.
These might damage plastic
surfaces and other components
