Cleaning and care
40
Carry out cleaning and maintenance of the washing machine after
use if possible.
Do not use a pressure washer or water jet to clean the washing
machine.
Clean the machine casing, control panel, and plastic parts with a
mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent or with a soft, damp cloth only.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Scouring agents will scratch the surface.
Clean stainless-steel parts of the casing with a standard commer-
cial stainless-steel cleaner.
Remove any deposits from the door seal with a damp cloth.
Cleaning agent can seep into electrical components.
When disinfecting the surfaces, use a damp cloth only to clean the
front and around the door lock. Do not spray any liquids.
Tip: Heavy deposits of dust around the vents housing should be re-
moved with a vacuum cleaner. The fan housing is located on the back
of the machine.
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.
