MAINTENANCE
Successful washing and
smooth running of your
machine depend on a series
of routine maintenance
operations which should be
carried out from time to time.
IMPORTANT
You are advised to unplug the
appliance before all cleaning
and maintenance operations
.
DECALCIFICATION
The water we normally use
contains lime. From time to
time, and more often for hard
water, it is a good idea to use
a water softening powder in
the machine. Do this separate
to any laundry washing, and
according to the softening
powder manufacturer's
instructions. This will
prevent the formation of lime
deposits.
AFTER EACH
WASH
Leave the door open for a
while.
This helps prevent mould and
stagnant smells forming inside
the appliance.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Use soap and water only
and then dry thoroughly.
CLEANING
THE DRAWER
From time to time the
washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be
cleaned.
Remove the drawer and
flush out under a tap.
The upper part of the
additives compartment can
be removed for easier
cleaning.
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 part
of the recess. Replace the
drawer and run the prewash
(P) for a few minutes without
any clothes and then the drain
(N) cycle to clear any residues.
THE DANGERS OF
FREEZING
If the machine is exposed
to temperatures below 0°O;
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.
