smooth running of your

of
routine
maintenance
operations which should be
carried out from time to time.

maintenance or cleaning you
MUST
disconnect

appliance from the electricity
sypply.
DECALCIFICATION
The water we normally
use contains lime. From time
to time, and more often for
hard water, it is a good idea to
use a water softening powder
in the machine. Add this
powder according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
This will help to reduce the
formation of lime deposits.
AFTEREACH
WASH-
Leave the door open for a
while.
This helps prevent mould
and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance.

then dry thoroughly.
