Cleaning and care

Cleaning the siphon and conditioner channel

1. Remove the siphon from compartment and rinse under warm running water. Clean the siphon tube in the same way.

2. Replace the siphon.

Clean the fabric conditioner channel using a brush and warm water.

If starching frequently, thoroughly clean the siphon, the siphon tube and the fabric conditioner channel regularly. A build-up of starch will cause them to get clogged.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer housing

Use a bottle brush to remove detergent residues and limescale from the jets inside the detergent dispenser drawer housing.

Descaling the machine

If the correct amount of detergent is dispensed, the machine should not need to be descaled. If, however, you do wish to descale the machine only use proprietary non-corrosive descaling agents and strictly observe the instructions on the packaging.
