Regular cleaning

Washing machine-cleaning agents for
maintaining your appliance can be found in
well-stocked supermarkets and drugstores.
Cleaning the appliance using these products
takes place when the washing machine is
empty and is very intensive.
You should clean the appliance in this way
every 30 wash cycles to prevent limescale
deposits and to maintain your appliance.
When doing so, please note the manufactur-
er's instructions on the packaging.
Limescale deposits can be avoided us-
ing the right detergent dosage.

Cleaning the appliance door

(31)
1. Pull back the folds of the rubber
sleeve (31) carefully and remove all ob-
jects from behind it.
2. Wipe the appliance door (25) and the rub-
ber gasket with a soft, damp cloth on the
outside and inside, and then wipe them
both dry.
