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
manufacturer's instructions. This will help to
prevent the formation of lime deposits.

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 with biological properties.

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance
with soap and water only, and then dry
thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser

drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out
under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.
