6Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance
After each wash, leave the door open for a while to allow the air to circulate freely inside the machine.
From time to time, depending on the hardness of your water, it is recommendable to run a full wash cycle using a decalcifying product. This will extend the life of your washing machine.
C The washing machine should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any cleaning or maintenance is carried out.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Clean the detergent dispenser whenever there is any washing product residue left inside.
•Pull outwards on the detergent dispenser to remove it completely.
•Use warm water and a brush to clean the compartments.
•Also clean the additive compartment siphons, having removed them first. Once they have been cleaned, put them back making sure that they fit right in to the back.
Put the dispenser back into the washing machine.
C A dirty or incorrectly fitted siphon will prevent the additives from being taken in and leave water inside the compartment at the end of the wash.
