Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drum
(Hygiene info)
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergent can cause
bacteria and unpleasant odours to build
up in the washing machine. Use the
Cottons 90 °C
programme to clean the
machine. Run this programme at the
latest when the
indicator lights up.
External casing and fascia
panel
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply before
cleaning 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
proprietary stainless steel cleaning
agent, following the manufacturer's
instructions on the packaging.
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or multi-
purpose cleaning agents. These
could damage plastic surfaces and
other parts.
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 drawer with hot water.
