Cleaning and care

Cleaning the drum

Washing at low temperatures and/or us-
ing liquid detergent can cause bacteria
and unpleasant odours to build up in
the washing machine. In order to clean
the drum and also to prevent unpleas-
ant odours building up, run a pro-
gramme with a temperature of at least
60°C using powder detergent once a
month or when the Hygiene info light
comes on.
