Maintenance

- 10 -

The cabinet

Clean the outside surfaces of the machine using a
mild (non-abrasive) household cleaning product.
Finish by removing remaining traces of the product
with a damp cloth.

Do not use cleaning products which contain
alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.

The detergent dispenser

In time, residues of detergent and fabric conditioner
are likely to build up inside the detergent dispenser.
It should be cleaned at regular intervals by flushing
it out with water. If necessary, the whole dispenser
can be taken out of the machine for cleaning. You
need to pull it firmly outwards, so that it comes free
of a retaining stop (Fig. 1). 

To remove the siphon (at the inside edge of the
dispenser) for cleaning, you need to press it in-
wards and pull it upwards at the same time (Fig. 2).
When you put it back, press it downwards until you
hear a distinct click.

Inside the opening for the detergent
dispenser

Detergent residues can also build up inside the
opening for the detergent dispenser. You can use
an old toothbrush for cleaning this area (Fig. 3). 
When you have finished and put back the dispenser,
run a short programme with no wash load in the
machine to rinse it clean.

Cleaning inside the machine

If you mostly use your machine for low-temperature
washes, and/or if you use only very little detergent,
you should clean the inside of the machine about
once a month. This will prevent mould or stale odours
from developing. Use the full recommended quantity
of detergent and run a wash programme at the hig-
hest temperature with no wash load in the machine.
