NOTE!
Do not run the detergent compartment through a
dishwasher!
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE

Clean the outside of the machine and the program panel
with a mild cleaner. Do not use any solvents, as these can
damage the machine.
NOTE!
Do not hose down the machine with water!
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE
MACHINE TO AVOID UNPLEASANT
SMELLS
Run a programme at 90 °C or 95 °C (depending on the
model) with a small amount of detergent once a month to
avoid problems with odours. It is not necessary to put any
washing in the machine.
RINSE HOLES UNDER THE AGITATOR
If you suspect that objects such as nails or paper clips
may have fallen into the wash drum, you should check the
space under the agitator. Such objects can rust and leave
marks on clothing. Nails and other sharp objects can
cause holes in fabrics.
