Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drum

Washing at low temperatures and/or with liquid detergents can allow germs and odours to form inside the appliance. At least once a month, to clean the drum and prevent the formation of odours, run a wash program at 60°C or above, using powdered detergent.

Cleaning the housing and control panel

￿Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

￿NEVER hose down the washer.

￿Use a mild cleanser or soapy water to clean the housing and panel, then dry with a soft cloth.

￿Use a special stainless steel cleaning product to clean the drum.

￿Do NOT use solvent-based products, abrasive cleaners, or glass or all-purpose cleaning agents.

They can damage the plastic surfaces and other components.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

Regularly remove any detergent residue.

￿Pull the detergent drawer out until it stops, press down the release catch, and remove the drawer from the washer.

￿Clean the drawer with warm water.
