Care and cleaning
Warning! 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 manufac-
turer's instructions. This will help to prevent
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 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 pro-
gramme.
• 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 thor-
oughly.
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 dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out.
