IMPORTANT!

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 softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

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.

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.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed.

Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the

recess, ensuring that

all washing powder

residue is removed from the upper and lower

part of the recess.

Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected if

●the machine does not empty and/or spin

●the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

●Disconnect the appliance.

●If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

●Open the pump door.

●Place a containfer close to the pump to

collect any spillage.

● When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover and remove it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover.
