Cleaning the drum (Hygiene
info)
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergent can cause
bacteria and unpleasant odours to
build up in the machine. The washing
machine can be cleaned using the
Maintenance programme. This should
be done regularly, at the latest when
the
Hygiene Info message appears in
the display.
,
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply and
withdraw the plug from the socket
before cleaning the machine.

The machine must not be hosed
down.

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