Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you

must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity

supply.

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 (such as Ariel Futur).

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.

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

without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the filter

The water drain filter

A clean filter is important for the correct operating of

the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every

washing programme.

Open the filter door and place a container underneath to

catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the

machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the

water manually from the machine at this stage. To do

this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink

and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor.

The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When

the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the

bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing

out.
