Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the
concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer's recommendations on quantities to use and do not
exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer .
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called "degrees" of hardness. Information on hardness of
the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from
your local authority.
A water softener must be added when water has a medium-high degree of hardness (from
degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The quantity of detergent
can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).

Care and cleaning
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 ac-
cording to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the
formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door
seal.
Maintenance wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside
the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.
