Care and cleaning

Warning! 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 soft-
ening powder manufacturer's instructions. This
will help to prevent the formation of lime depos-
its.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
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

Cleaning the drawer recess
Replace the drawer and run the rinse pro-
gramme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:
• The appliance does not empty and/or spin.
• The appliance makes an unusual noise dur-
ing draining due to objects such as safety
pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.
• A problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter "What to do if..." for more de-
tails).
Warning! Before opening the pump door,
switch the appliance off and remove the
mains plug from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down.
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the re-
cess, ensuring that all
washing powder resi-
due is removed from
the upper and lower
part of the recess.
Open the pump door.
