Cleaning the drum
If you keep using cold water in the
appliance, bacteria may build up inside
the drum and give off an odour. You can
avoid this by running the 90°C Cotton
programme once a month. (If you use a
scale remover, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.)
Caution
Viruses and bacteria are not killed
in water temperature of 40°C.
Pathogens can spread via the
commingling of clothes and thus
transmit diseases.
Pathogens die at 60°C or higher.
However, using water temperatures up
to 90°C is unnecessary.
Note
Do NOT put laundry nor laundry
detergent into the appliance while it is
being cleaned.
If you use tub cleaning detergent or bleach,
put it into the detergent drawer before
starting the wash. The appropriate amount
to be used is about 30 ml. (See page 9.)
Cleaning the detergent

Detergent residue soon builds up if the
