Which detergent?.... And in which form? To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines.

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.
Unscrew and remove the filter. Clean carefully under a fast running tap. Clean the filters using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hoses. P1090 P0040 P0039 The dangers of freezing Warning If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. ● Turn off the water taps. ● Unscrew the inlet hoses. ● Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme “R”.
