HARD WATER

If you live in an area that has hard water, the washer 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 programme at 95°C. You will find citric acid on the spice shelf in your grocer's store.
