You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you can
carry out any cleaning or maintenance
work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance
with soap and water only, and then dry
thoroughly.
