I use white distilled vinegar and a bit of water, run a cycle then when its finished wipe with a cloth or a sponge. Then just a normal cycle and wipe dry when finished

Boil water then add vinegar. Leave to stand until acid in vinegar stops and rinse out. If limescale still there, repeat step one again, rinse and boil clean water, tip out and boil clean water again, make a cup of coffee

Sounds like not enough water in the bottom when you're ran it. Happened to mine and couldn't fix it I'm afraid x

Your not meant to put vinegar in and turn it on. U r supposed to pour it in and leave it to settle for 30 mins or over night and rinse it out and do a normal cycle

All you need to clean it is a sponge scourer

Hi my daughter came home from school yesterday with tippex on her black school sweatshirt & trousers, so I googled how to get it off & it said to dab the mark(after scraping the excess off) with white spirit on cotton wool & leave to soak for 15 minutes before washing it off in the washing machine.
