Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drum
Washing at low temperatures and/or us-
ing liquid detergent can cause bacteria
and unpleasant odours to build up in
the washing machine. In order to clean
the drum and also to prevent unpleas-
ant odours building up, run a pro-
gramme with a temperature of at least
60°C using powder detergent once a
month or when the

comes on.
External casing and fascia
panel
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply before clean-
ing or maintenance.
The washing machine must not
be hosed down.
Clean the casing and fascia panel
with a mild non-abrasive cleaning
agent or soap and water using a well
wrung-out cloth. Wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
The drum can be cleaned with a pro-
prietary stainless steel cleaning
agent, following the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or multi-pur-
pose cleaning agents. These could
damage plastic surfaces and other
parts.
Cleaning the detergent dis-
penser 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 drawer with hot water.
