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.
Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance.
Detergent dispenser
Clean the dispenser drawer and the dispenser compartment
regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent
detergent build-up:
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.
