Cleaning and maintenance

After each wash

At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a lit-
tle to let it dry.
Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.
If the machine is not used for a prolonged period:
Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Periodical cleaning

Exterior

Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap and water only. Rinse with
clean water and dry.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products
to clean the cabinet.

Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric soften-
ers leave deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer, from time to time, by
rinsing it under a running tap. To remove
the drawer from the machine, press the
button in the rear left-hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the
additive compartments can be removed.
Detergent can also accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old tooth-
brush.
Refit the drawer after cleaning.
