MAINTENANCE

Bodywork

Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and
a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.

Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under
a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive com-
partments can be removed.

inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean, especially after running drying pro-
