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. Before starting the programme, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment nr. II). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. II. 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.

C Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.

C Foreign metal substances in your machine will cause rust stains. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.

Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.
