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 use a water softening powder in the machine.
Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according
to the softening powder manufacturerÕs instructions. This
will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door ajar 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.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soapy water
only, then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
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.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0¡C,
certain precautions should be taken.
¥ Turn off the water taps.
¥ Select a wash programme and run for a few seconds.
¥ Unscrew the inlet hoses.
¥ Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position
the end in a bowl. Run the draining programme for a few
seconds.
¥ When you intend to start the machine up again, make
sure that the room temperature is above 0¡C.

need to drain the water from the machine manually 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.
Unscrew and remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait
until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty.
When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened
so as to stop leaks and young children being able to
remove it.

The water inlet filters

Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.
Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.
A clean filter is important for
the correct functioning of the
machine, and should
therefore be cleaned after
every wash.
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
If your water is very hard or
contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filters
may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to
clean them from time to time.
Turn off the water taps.
Unscrew the water inlet
hoses.
