Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water soft-
ening 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 forma-
tion of lime deposits.
After each wash
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.
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 thor-
oughly.
Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
Detergent dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
1.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the addi-
tive compartment should be removed.
Remove the detergent dispenser drawer
by pressing the catch downwards and by
pulling it out.
