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.

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 (such as Ariel
Futur).

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 softeners leave deposits in the
drawer.
Clean the drawer,
from time to time,
by rinsing it under
a running tap. To
remove the draw-
er from the
machine, press the
button in the rear
left-hand corner.
