The washing machine drum
The drum of your washing machine is constructed from stainless steel.
However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then
it is possible for the drum to become stained.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a descaling agent, iron/steel wool or
scouring agents to clean the drum of your appliance.
o Remove any rust stains on the drum with an appropriate
stainless steel cleaning agent.

o You should regularly check to see if any deposits have formed,
or there are any foreign bodies in the rubber door gasket. This
sits inside the opening of the porthole door.
o Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of
soiling and residues from the water can result in water leaking
from the door.
90 degree maintenance wash
The warm and damp environment of a washing machine can lead to a
bacteria build up inside of the machine and in extreme cases you may
even get a "sludge" like material building. To prevent this from
happening, you should do the following:-
o Leave the door ajar for a few minutes after the wash cycle has
completed.
o Once a month, set your appliance on a 90 degree wash.
o You should not put clothing inside the appliance for this
maintainence wash.
o You should use a wash powder that contains a bleaching agent
(i.e. not a wash powder that is only suitable for washing
coloured garments).
