Cleaning and routine maintenance

Do not use alcohol-based scourers and / or thinners on the outside of your washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little maintenance: - Cleaning the drawer compartments.

- Cleaning the door glass.

Cleaning the drawer compartments

Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the compartments for bleaching detergents and additives occasionally.

A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without forcing them.

B)Clean everything in the compartment under running water.

C)Put everything back in its proper place.

Cleaning the door glass

Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and

residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.

Transporting the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in use

If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses.

Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out.

When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.
