IMPORTANT!

You must DISCONNECT the appliance from

the electricity supply, before you can carry out

any cleaning or maintenance work.

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.

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 thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser

drawer should be cleaned regularly.

To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive

compartment should be removed.

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.

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 and

lower 

part of the recess.

Replace the drawer and run the rinse

programme without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the pump

The pump should be inspected if

the machine does not empty and/or spin 

the machine makes an unusual noise during

draining due to objects such as safety pins,

coins etc. blocking the pump. 

Proceed as follows:

disconnect the appliance. 

if the appliance is operating, wait, if

necessary, until the water has cooled down. 

open the pump door levering on the groove

with a coin.

place a bowl with a small edge close to the

pump to collect any spillage.
