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 manu-
facturer's instructions. This will help to pre-
vent the formation of lime deposits.

AFTER EACH WASH
Leave the door open for a while. This helps
to prevent mould and stagnant smells form-
ing inside the appliance. Keeping the door
open after a wash will also help to preserve
the door seal.

MAINTENANCE WASH
With the use of low temperature washes it
is possible to get a build up of residues in-
side 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 pro-

gramme.

• Use a normal measure of detergent,

must be a powder with biological proper-
ties.

EXTERNAL CLEANING
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance
with soap and water only, and then dry
thoroughly.

Important! Do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
cabinet.

CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
The detergent dispenser drawer should be
cleaned regularly.
The washing powder and additive dispens-
er drawer should be cleaned regularly.
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.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed. Clean all
parts with water.

Clean the chamber of dispenser drawer
with a brush.

WASHING DRUM
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due
to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or
tap water containing iron.

Important! Do not clean the drum with
acidic descaling agents, scouring agents
containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.

1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum

with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
