Cleaning the drum (Hygiene
info)
Washing at low temperatures and/or
using liquid detergent can cause
bacteria and unpleasant smells to build
up in the machine. In order to clean the
drum and also to prevent unpleasant
smells building up, run a Cottons 75°C
programme with powder detergent
once a month or when the
Hygiene
info
message appears in the display.
,
Disconnect the machine from the
mains electricity supply and
withdraw the plug from the socket
before cleaning the machine.
,
The washing machine must not
be hosed down.
External casing and fascia
panel

Clean the casing with a mild non-
abrasive cleaning agent or soap and
water using a well wrung-out cloth.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
^
The drum can be cleaned using a
suitable proprietary stainless-steel
cleaning agent following the
manufacturer's instructions on the
packaging.
,
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.
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer
The pre-wash and main wash
compartments of the detergent
dispensing drawer are self-cleaning.
For hygienic reasons, clean the entire
drawer at regular intervals.

Pull out the detergent dispenser
drawer until a resistance is felt. Press
