The pressure of a water jet can cause water to get into the washing machine, resulting in damage to components. Do not spray the washing machine with a water jet when hosing down.
- Clean the housing and control panel with a mild cleaning agent or soap and water and dry both with a soft cloth.
- The drum can be cleaned using a suitable stainless steel cleaning agent following the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging
WARNING! Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaning agents. These might damage plastic surfaces and other components because of the chemicals they contain. Do not use any of these cleaning agents.
