Wispy68		(Fri 20:46 05/Aug/05) Put a cup of white vinegar into the dispenser drawer and run it (empty) on a hot programme. This helps to get rid of limescale build-up and removes nasty smells from the drum. I usually do this once every 1-2 months.

patse14		(Fri 22:02 05/Aug/05) Question Author Many thanks for the replies. I know this might sound stupid but how much is a cup? Is it about half pint or a little teacup? I have some white pickling vinegar ( says on the bottle that its stronger the the usual) would that do the trick?

Wispy68		(Sat 09:24 06/Aug/05) I use a teacup which holds about 6 fluid oz. I'm not sure whether pickling vinegar would do the job just as well as normal white vinegar.
