5.5 Machines with residual moisture control (RMC)
At regular basis, wipe off/clean drum and lifters with citric acid (Acidum citricum). If soap/softener
residue remains, it is recommended also to use a coarse sponge.
Lack of cleaning can reduce the automatic residual moisture control which will make the load being
moister than requested when the program has ended.
