CARE AND CLEANING
Warning! You must disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.
DESCALING
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manu- facturer's instructions. This will help to pre- vent the formation of lime deposits.
AFTER EACH WASH
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells form- ing 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 in- side 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 pro- gramme.
•Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological proper- ties.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
The washing powder and additive dispens- er drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. Clean all parts with water.

WASHING DRUM
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap water containing iron.
Important! Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine or iron or steel wool.
