Residues of softener, detergent and

programme and select Additional Water
or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as
well. Before starting the programme,
put max. 100 g of powder anti-
limescale into the main wash detergent
compartment (compartment nr. II). If
the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put
only one tablet into compartment nr. II.
Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean
piece of cloth after the programme has
come to an end.

Repeat Drum Cleaning process in
every 2 months.

the washing machines.
After every washing make sure that no
foreign substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the
figure is blocked, open the holes using
a toothpick.

Foreign metal substances in your
machine will cause rust stains.
Clean the stains on the drum
surface by using cleaning agents for
stainless steel. Never use steel wool
or wire wool.
