Care and cleaning

Warning! You must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply,
before you can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a
good idea to periodically use a water softening
powder in the machine. Do this separately from
any laundry washing, and according to the soft-
ening powder manufacturer's instructions. This
will help to prevent the formation of lime depos-
its.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer
by pressing the catch
downwards and by
pulling it out. Flush it
out under a tap, to re-
move any traces of
accumulated powder.

To aid cleaning, the
top part of the addi-
tive compartment
should be removed.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Replace the drawer and run the rinse pro-
gramme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter "What to do if..." for more de-
tails).
Warning!
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains
1.
socket.
2. Do not remove the filter while the appliance
operates. Do not clean the drain pump if
the water in the appliance is hot. The water
must be cold before you clean the drain
pump.
Proceed as follows:
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the re-
cess, ensuring that all
washing powder resi-
due is removed from
the upper and lower
part of the recess.
