seating and push its front section downwards to
make sure that the locking tab engages.
6.2 Cleaning the loading
door and the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may
accumulate in your machine in time and
may cause unpleasant odours and washing
complaints. To avoid this, use the
Drum Cleaning
programme. If your machine is not featured with
Drum Cleaning
programme, use
Cottons-90
programme and select

or
Extra Rinse
auxiliary 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.

2 months.

Use an anti-limescale suitable for the
washing machines.

substance is left in the drum.

rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains
on the drum surface by using cleaning
agents for stainless steel. Never use steel
