Care and cleaning

IMPORTANT!

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.

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.

The washing powder and additive dispenser

drawer should be cleaned regularly.

downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out

accumulated powder.
