Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity supply
●Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliances water system and also prevent leaks.
●Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.
Caring for your appliance door and drum
●Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Fuses
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13 amp (13A) fuse. If you need to replace the fuse, use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA approved to BS1362. To change the fuse, insert the fuse and push the fuse holder down into the locked position. Correct replacement is identified by colour coding or the marking on base of the plug.
!DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse holder is in the locked position and the top cover firmly replaced.
Changing the Plug
If you need to change your plug, if it does not fit your socket: isolate the machine from the mains supply. Cut off the supplied plug and safely dispose of the discarded plug. DO NOT plug into any other socket.
NOTE: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in the mains lead may not match the colour of the markings which show the different terminals in the plug. You must wire it as shown below:

Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a cracked hose to split open.
!Never use hoses that have already been used.
