Care and cleaning

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.

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out

accumulated powder.
