If the machine is not used for a prolonged period:
Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Periodical cleaning

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

tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the
rear left-hand corner.
