Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried
out you must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply.

After each wash

Leave the door open for a while. This helps to
prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside
the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash
will also help to preserve the door seal.

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.

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate
eventual possible objects that could be trapped in
the fold.

Cabinet

Clean the outside of the machine with warm water
and a detergent used to handwash dishes. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.

Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer. Inspect the drawer regularly.
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
compartment can be removed.
Clean the drawer by rinsing it under a running tap.
Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.
