• This is normal and is not a malfunction of the machine.

• We recommend descaling regularly with an Electrolux descaler, which is available in our Webshop.

Tip: It is always a good idea to descale your washing machine in order to improve performance and to protect the washing machine.

2. When the machine is descaled and clean, you can prevent returns of any coating on the drum by doing the following:

• Be careful with the amount of detergent – follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• Use detergent from another manufacturer.
• Use liquid detergent.
