Descaling
the washing
machine
Descaling
agents contain acids
which may attack parts of the
washing
machine and discolor
the laundry.
Provided that you use the correct
type of detergent,
it is not
necessary to descale the washing
machine.
If white spots, lime or mineral
deposits
appear on the interior of
the washing
machine drum you can
use a descaling
agent to remove
them.
However,
if the appliance
has to
be descaled,
please follow the
instructions
provided
by the
descaling
agent manufacturer.
