The consumption data shown on this chart is to be considered purely indicative, as it may vary depending on the quantity and type of laundry, on the inlet water temperature and on the ambient temperature.
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 according 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.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
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 remove any traces of accumulated powder.
