IMPORTANT!
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from

the electricity supply, before you can carry out

any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is

a good idea to periodically use a water

softening powder in the machine. Do this

separately from any laundry washing, and

according to the softening powder

manufacturer's instructions. This will help to

prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is

possible to get a build up of residues inside the

drum.

We recommend that a maintenance wash be

performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

The drum should be empty of laundry.

Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

Use a normal measure of detergent, must be

a powder with biological properties.

External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with

soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser

drawer should be cleaned regularly.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive

compartment should be removed.

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch

downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out

under a tap, to remove any traces of

accumulated powder.
Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the

drawer, use a small

brush to clean the

recess, ensuring that all

washing powder

residue is removed from

the upper and lower

part of the recess.

Replace the drawer and run the rinse

programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if

the machine does not empty and/or spin

the machine makes an unusual noise during

draining due to objects such as safety pins,

coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

Disconnect the appliance.

If necessary wait until the water has cooled

down.

Open the pump door.

Place a containfer

close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

Pull out the emergency

emptying hose, place it

in the container and

remove its cap.

When no more water comes out, unscrew the

pump cover and remove it. Always keep a

rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when

removing the cover.
