Descaling the
washing machine
Caution:
Descaling agents contain acids which can attack
parts of the washing machine and discolour the
laundry.
Provided that you use the correct amount of det-
ergent, it is not necessary to descale the washing
machine.
If, however, descaling the appliance becomes ne-
cessary, please follow the instructions provided
by the descaling agent manufacturer.

If the machine is located in a room which is
exposed to freezing temperatures, any residual
