Maintenance and cleaning

The cabinet

Clean the outside surfaces of the machine using a mild

(non-abrasive) household cleaning product. Finish by

removing remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth.

The detergent dispenser

In time, residues of detergent and fabric conditioner are

likely to build up inside the detergent dispenser. It should

be cleaned at regular intervals by flushing it out with water.

If necessary, the whole dispenser can be taken out of the

machine for cleaning. You need to pull it firmly outwards,

so that it comes free of a retaining stop (Fig. 1).

To remove the siphon (at the inside edge of the dispenser)

for cleaning, you need to press it inwards and pull it upwards

at the same time (Fig. 2). When you put it back, press it

downwards until you hear a distinct click.

Inside the opening for the detergent

dispenser

Detergent residues can also build up inside the opening

for the detergent dispenser. You can use an old toothbrush

for cleaning this area (Fig. 3). When you have finished and

put back the dispenser, run a short programme with no

wash load in the machine to rinse it clean.

Cleaning inside the machine

If you mostly use your machine for low-temperature washes

and/or if you use only very little detergent, you should clean

the inside of the machine about once a month. This will

prevent mould or stale odours from developing.

Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder

(such as Ariel Futur) and run a wash programme at the

highest temperature with no wash load in the machine.

Descaling

If your water supply is harder than 7° dH, you should descale

your washing machine at least once every three months.

Use approx. 150 ml of citric acid instead of detergent and

run a wash programme at the highest temperature with no

wash load in the machine. Limescale deposits on compo-

nents such as the machine's heating element will reduce

their service life. (Contact your water company to find out

the hardness level of your local water supply).

Protecting the machine against

freezing

If the machine is kept in a place where the temperature

may sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk that the

small amount of water which remains inside parts of the

machine after normal use will freeze and damage it.

To prevent this you should:

Turn off the water supply to the machine and dis-

connect the water intake hose from the supply pipe.

Select a wash programme, start the machine and let

the programme run for a short time.

Lower the tap end of the intake hose to floor level.

Use a container such as a bowl to catch water running

out of it.

Turn the programme control knob to an Drain pro-

gramme, restart the machine and let that programme

run for a short time.

Release the discharge hose from the plastic clip

on the machine rear. Place the end of the hose in

a bowl or bucket.

When you begin using the machine again, you will need

to reconnect the water intake and discharge hoses.

Do not use cleaning products which contain

alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.
