Clean the housing of your washing machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use coarse cleaning agents which could damage the surface.

Interior of the drum

Lumps of grease can occur in the inside of the drum, on the door seal as well as on clothes washed, which is due to incorrect washing procedure.
