Extra cleaning

Carrying out a hot wash (70°C or
above) with powder detergent approx.
once every six weeks will help to en-
sure that no deposits build up in the
machine. These can occur when wash-
ing is mainly done at low temperatures,
and also lead to unpleasant smells. If
you have no reason to wash laundry oc-
casionally at this high temperature,
then carry out a 95°C Cottons pro-
gramme as a cleaning cycle with pow-
der detergent and no washing, at regu-
lar intervals.
