Cleaning the machine
,
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.
Extra cleaning
Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)
with powder detergent approx. every 6
weeks to help prevent deposits building
up in the machine. These can occur
when washing is mainly done at low
temperatures, and can lead to
unpleasant odours. If you have no
reason to wash occasionally at this high
temperature, then run a Cottons 95°C
programme with detergent but no
laundry at regular intervals.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
The pre-wash and main wash
compartments of the detergent drawer
are self-cleaning. However, for hygiene
reasons the entire detergent drawer
should be cleaned as follows on a
regular basis.
^
Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press
down the release catch and at the
same time pull the drawer right out of
the machine.
^
Clean the detergent drawer with hot
water.
