Build-up of rust

The drum is made of stainless steel. Water or foreign objects contain-
ing ferrous substances (e.g., paper clips, metal buttons, or metal
swarf) which are placed in the machine with the laundry can cause a
build-up of rust in the drum. Clean the drum regularly in this case and
if rust occurs, remove it immediately with a proprietary stainless steel
care product. Check the door seals for ferrous residues and clean
thoroughly as described above. This must be carried out regularly.
