functions as well. Run the programme without any laundry in the machine. Before starting
the programme, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent
compartment (compartment nr. "2"). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one
tablet into compartment nr. 2. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after
the programme has come to an end.

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

Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the
drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using
cleaning agents for stainless steel.
