Extra cleaning

^ Carry out a hot wash (70°C or above)
with powder detergent approx. every
6 weeks to help prevent deposits
building up in the machine. These
can occur when washing is mainly
done at low temperatures, and also
lead to unpleasant smells. If you have
no reason to wash occasionally at
this high temperature, then run a
Cottons 95°C programme with
detergent but no laundry at regular
intervals.
