MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
Descaling
The water we normally use 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.
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.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
From time to time the washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be cleaned.
Pull the drawer to remove and 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, en-
suring that all washing
powder
residue
is re-
moved from the upper
and lower part of the re-
cess.
Replace the drawer and
run the rinse programme
for a few minutes without
any clothes in the drum.

certain precautions should be taken.
