External casing and fascia
panel
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply and
withdraw the plug from the socket
before cleaning the machine.
The washing machine must not
be hosed down.
Clean the casing 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 using a
suitable proprietary stainless steel
cleaning agent following the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or all-
purpose cleaning agents. These
might damage plastic surfaces and
other components because of the
chemicals they contain.
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.
Clean the entire drawer at regular
intervals for hygiene reasons, even if
you are using the TwinDos system
exclusively.
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 drawer with
warm water.
