Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quan-
tities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances...

Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and ac-
cording to the softening powder manufacturers instructions. This will help to prevent the
formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door
seal....

Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap
water containing iron.
Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine
or iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent residues.
Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of detergent....
