Care and cleaning
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.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps
to prevent mould and stagnant smells
forming 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
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.
Important! Do not use methylated spirits,
solvents or similar products to clean the
cabinet.
Cleaning the dispenser
drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser
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.
