CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE-
VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR
Today’s modern detergents mean that washing
at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe-
ver, this can result in small deposits forming
inside the machine. These can eventually lead
to odour problems.
To avoid these problems, we recommend run-
ning a 95° program on a few occasions each
year. You should use a small quantity of deter-
gent at the same time. It is not necessary to fill
the machine with washing.
CLEANING HOLES UNDER THE RIDGES
If you suspect that objects, eg, nails, paperclips,
pins and so on, have fallen through the washing
drum you should check the space underneath
the ridges. Such items can corrode and cause
rust stains on your washing. Nails and other
sharp objects can tear fabrics.
Proceed as follows:
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool.
2
. Insert the screwdriver in
the middle hole in the rid-
ge and carefully push the
screwdriver handle to the
left.
3
. Grip the ridge with
your other hand and
pull it towards you as
illustrated.
4
. Lift up the ridge.
5
. Remove any objects.
6
. Position the ridge in the fixing holes with the
F-mark facing you. Ensure that the ridge lugs fit
firmly in their holes in the drum. Slide away
from you until it stops.
HARD WATER
If you live in an area with hard water, the was-
her drum may become coated with a grey-white
deposit. To get rid of the deposit, pour a packet
of citric acid, about 20 gram, in the drum and
run the Normal wash program at 95°C. You
will find citric acid on the spice shelf in your
grocer’s store.
