Overview

• Add about 50 grams of baking soda to the detergent drawer and run an empty cycle at 60 °C to eliminate limescale, soap scum and bacteria.
• Baking soda offers a budget-friendly cleaning alternative that avoids the harshness of specialized or acidic household cleaners.
• Vinegar and citric acid are discouraged because their acidity can degrade rubber gaskets and hoses, increasing the risk of leaks.
• After the cycle, wipe the drum and door seal dry to prevent moisture from harboring mold and odors.
• Performing this maintenance every few months helps extend machine life and forestall common issues faced after five years of use.
