Cleaning the drum
Metallic debris left in the drum can product rust
spots on the drum. Never use steel wool to try to
remove these. Use a chlorine-free cleaning agent and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Descaling the appliance
Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent
with you wash loads, descaling is not necessary. If
descaling the appliance drum does become
necessary, please follow the descaling product
manufacturer’s instructions.
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to
remove white spots on the washer drum caused by
lime or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust
caused by metal objects left in the drum.
NOTICE: Descaling agents contain acids which may
attack parts of the appliance and may discolor the
laundry.
