Cleaning the drum (Hygiene
info)
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergent can cause
bacteria and unpleasant smells to build
up in the machine. In order to clean the
drum and also to prevent unpleasant
smells building up, run a hot wash
(60°C or above) with powder detergent
once a month or when the Hygiene
info message appears in the display.
Cleaning the machine
,Disconnect the machine from the
electricity supply by switching off at
the wall socket and withdrawing the
plug before any cleaning and
maintenance work.
,Do not use solvents, abrasive
cleaners, glass cleaners or
all-purpose cleaning agents.
These might damage plastic
surfaces and other components
because of the chemicals they
contain.
,The machine must not be hosed
down.
^Clean the casing and the control
panel with a mild non-abrasive
cleaning agent or soap and water.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
^The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable stainless-steel cleaning
agent following the instructions on
the packaging.
