Care And Maintenance - CDA ci971 Manual For Installation, Use And Maintenance

Care and Maintenance

Before beginning any care or maintenance, you should always
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, and also
turn off the water supply.
If a programme has been run recently, wait for the water in the
appliance to cool down to prevent risk of scalding.
Cleaning the Outside of the Appliance
• Regular, thorough cleaning will keep your appliance
looking good.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with soap and water
only, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• The plastic parts should just be wiped with a damp cloth.
• Do not scrape with pointed objects, or use solvents or
products containing abrasive substances (including Cif)
because they damage the surfaces.
• For reasons of safety, never spray the washer dryer
with jets of water.
Cleaning the Drum
• Remove any rust marks from the drum using a stainless
steel cleaner.
• For descaling the washer dryer use only brand-name
descalers which contain an anti-corrosion agent for
washing machines.
• Always follow the producer's instructions with regard to use
and dosages.
• After descaling or removing rust from the drum, carry
out a few rinse cycles to remove all acid residues which
might damage the appliance. Never use cleaners which
contain solvents. There is the risk of the formation of
vapours which might catch fire and explode.
