Care and maintenance
Your washer is designed to give you years of service.
Observe the following instructions to maintain and
protect your washer and keep it in top operating
condition.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
⚫ To avoid risk of electric shock always disconnect
the washer from the power outlet prior to
cleaning.
⚫ Never clean the washer with a pressure washer.
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
⚫ Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside
the washer and help to prevent leaks.
⚫ Unplug the washer when cleaning it and during
all maintenance work.
Cleaning the appliance's exterior
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION
To avoid risk of explosion never clean the washer
with flammable solvents.
Clean the washer's exterior surface when required
as follows:
- Use hot soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive)
cleaning agent.
- Rub dry with a soft towel.
- Remove residue immediately.
- Do not use high pressure spray.
Cleaning the drum
Metallic debris left in the drum can product rust
spots on the drum. Never use steel wool to try to
remove these. Use a chlorine-free cleaning agent
and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Descaling the washer
Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent
with you wash loads, descaling is not necessary. If
descaling the washer drum does become necessary,
please follow the descaling product manufacturer's
instructions.
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to
remove white spots on the washer drum caused by
lime or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust
caused by metal objects left in the drum.
NOTICE: Descaling agents contain acids which may
attack parts of the washer and may discolor the
laundry.
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
⚫ Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
