Successful
washing
and
smooth

nachine depend on a series
of
routine
maintenance
yperations which should be
arried out from time to time.

DECALCIFICATION
The

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 prevent the formation
of lime deposits.
AFTER EACH
Leave the door open for a
while.
This helps prevent mould
and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Use soap and water only and
then dry thoroughly.
CLEANING
THE DRAWER
From
time
to time
the
washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be
cleaned.
Remove
the drawer
and
flush out under a tap.
The
upper
part
of the
additives compartment can be
removed for easier cleaning.
THE DRAWER RECESS
Having removed the drawer,
use a small brush to clean the
recess
ensuring
that
all
washing powder
residue
is
removed from the upper part
of the recess.
Replace the
drawer and run the prewash
(P) for a few minutes without
any
clothes,
then
run
programme
«C» for a few
minutes, and finally the drain
cycle (M) to clear any residues.
THE DANGERS OF
iT
If the machine is exposed to
temperatures
below
0°C,
certain precautions should be
taken.
— Turn off the water taps.
— Select a wash programme
and run for a few seconds.
— Unscrew the inlet hoses.
— Unhook the drain hose from
the rear support and position
the end in a bowl. Run the
draining programme for a few
seconds.
— When you intend to start
the machine up again, make
sure
that
the
room
