Descaling the washing machine
Descaling agents contain acids which can attack parts of the
washing machine and discolour the laundry.
Provided that you use the correct amount of detergent, it is
not necessary to descale the washing machine.
If, however, descaling the appliance becomes necessary,
please follow the instructions provided by the descaling
agent manufacturer.
Caution:
Frost protection
If the machine is located in a room which is exposed to
freezing temperatures, any residual water in both the pump
and the water inlet hose must be drained immediately every
time the machine is used.
See Cleaning the pump on page 20.
