4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.

2Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.

3After cleaning, replace the siphon back to its seating and push its front section downwards to make sure that the locking tab engages.

5.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum

Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Run the programme without any laundry in the machine. Before starting the programme, put max. 100

g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment(compartment nr. 2). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. 2. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.

C Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
