Cleaning and care
Clean and care for the machine after use if possible.

Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the machine.
Clean the machine casing, control panel and plastic parts only

with a mild, non-abrasive detergent or a soft damp cloth. Wipe dry
with a soft cloth.
Scouring agents will scratch the surface.
Clean stainless steel parts of the casing with a standard commercial

stainless steel cleaner.
Remove any deposits from the door seal with a damp cloth.

Do not allow cleaning agents to penetrate the electrical compo-
nents.
When disinfecting the surfaces, use a damp cloth only to clean the

front and around the door lock. Do not spray the surface with the
fluid.
Tip: Vacuum the fan casing if it is very dusty. The fan casing is lo-
cated on the rear of the machine.

Build-up of rust

The drum is manufactured from rust-free stainless steel. However,
water with a high iron content or foreign bodies in the wash (e.g. pa-
per clips or metal buttons) may lead to the formation of superficial
rust spots in the drum. Stainless steel components should be cleaned
regularly and as soon as rust spots appear with standard commercial
cleaning agent for stainless steel. Door seals should also be regularly
cleaned and checked to make sure that nothing has become trapped.
These preventive measures should be carried out on a regular basis.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer and siphon

After use, the detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned with

warm water to remove any detergent residues.
If the machine is not going to be used for a longer time, leave the

flap of the detergent dispenser drawer open.
Also clean the siphons in the special dispenser drawers.
