Care and maintenance

Cleaning

!Unplug your machine when cleaning it and before all maintenance operations.

!Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal polish as they may cause damage.

Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior surfaces of the appliance.

Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly with a soft cloth. A build up of soap powder and water hardness residue may result in water leaking from the door.

Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

2. Press the drawer release button to remove the dispenser drawer (see pic).
