Successful
washing
and
smooth
running
of your
machine depend on a series of
routine
maintenance
operations whieh should be
carried out from time to time.

the
appliance
before
all
cleaning and maintenance
operations.
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. Do this separate
to any laundry washing, and
aecording
to the
softening
powder
manufacturer's
instructions. This will prevent
the formation of lime deposits.
AFTER EACH
WASH
Leave the door open for à
while.
This helps prevent mould
and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Use soap and water only and
then dry thoroughly.

washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer

the
drawer
and
flush out under a tap.
The
upper
part
of the
additives compartment can be
removed for easier cleaning.
[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 and then the drain
