CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Appliance exterior and control panel
• Can be washed down with a soft, damp cloth.
• A little neutral detergent (non abrasive) can also
be used.
• Dry with a soft cloth.
Appliance interior
• After each washing, leave the door open for some
time to allow the inside of the appliance to dry.
• If you never or seldom wash your laundry at
95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C
programme without laundry, adding a small
amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the
appliance clean.

We recommend that you check and clean the detergent
dispenser regularly.
To clean the dispenser drawer:
1. Press the release lever in the main wash chamber downward and
remove the dispenser drawer from the dispenser compartment.
2. Remove the cover grid from the softener chamber. Remove the
separator from the main wash chamber by pulling it upward (see
dark arrows).
3. Wash all the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser compartment with a damp cloth.
5. Refit the separator and the cover grid in the dispenser drawer
and push the drawer back into the dispenser compartment.

• Dry the door seal after each washing with an
absorbent cotton cloth; make sure that the door
seal is completely dry before closing the door of
the empty washing machine.
• Check the condition of the door seal periodically.

• Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two
or three times a year (see "Removing The Filter/
Draining Residual Water").
