Cleaning and maintenance

After each wash

At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a little to
let it dry.

Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.

If the machine is not used for a prolonged period:

Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Periodical cleaning

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 (such as Ariel Futur).

Exterior

Clean the outside of the cabinet with soap and water only. Rinse with clean
water and dry.

Important:

do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to

clean the cabinet.

Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer.

Clean the drawer,
from time to time,
by rinsing it under
a running tap.
