Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply
Descaling
The water we normally use contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically run a high temperature wash with detergent or use a descaler in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the 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 (such as Ariel Futur).
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Clean the control panel using a damp cloth only.
Do not use abrasives
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
From time to time the washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned.
Remove the drawer by pulling it out firmly. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme for a few minutes without any clothes in the drum.
