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 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 "Regular" wash
program.
Use a normal measure of
detergent, must be a powder
with biological properties.
8.5 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.
