8. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you can
carry out any cleaning or maintenance
work.

8.1 External Cleaning

Clean the appliance only with soap and
warm water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
CAUTION!
Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.

8.2 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.

8.3 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.
8.4 Maintenance Wash With
"Tub Clean" Program
With the use of low temperature washes
it is possible to get a build up of residues
inside the drum.
We recommend to use "Tub Clean"
program to clean the drum regularly to
remove any residue.

The drum should be empty of laundry.
Select the "Tub Clean" program.
Press Start/Pause to start the program.
