Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drum (Hygiene info)

Washing at low temperatures and/or using liquid detergent can cause bacte‐ ria and unpleasant odours to build up in the washing machine. Use the Mainte‐ nance wash programme to clean the machine. Run this programme regularly or at the latest when Hygiene info ap‐ pears in the display.

The washing machine must not be hosed down.

Clean the casing and fascia panel with a mild non-abrasive cleaning agent or soap and water using a well wrung-out cloth. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.

The drum can be cleaned with a pro‐ prietary stainless steel cleaning agent, following the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or multi-pur‐ pose cleaning agents. These could damage plastic surfaces and other parts.
