Cutting off the water or electricity
supply
●
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliances water system
and also prevent leaks.
●
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Remove the dispenser by
raising it and pulling it out
(see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
Caring for your appliance door and
drum
●
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
you see any cracks, replace it immediately: during
the wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a
cracked hose to split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
Fuses
Your appliance comes fitted with a plug and a 13
amp (13A) fuse. If you need to replace the fuse,
use only those rated at 13 amp (13A) and ASTA
approved to BS1362. To change the fuse, insert the
fuse and push the fuse holder down into the locked
position. Correct replacement is identified by colour
coding or the marking on base of the plug.
! DO NOT use the plug unless the fuse holder is in
the locked position and the top cover firmly
replaced.
Changing the Plug
If you need to change your plug, if it does not fit
your socket: isolate the machine from the mains
supply. Cut off the supplied plug and safely dispose
of the discarded plug. DO NOT plug into any other
socket.
NOTE: If you change the plug, the colour of wires in
the mains lead may not match the colour of the
markings which show the different terminals in the
plug. You must wire it as shown below:
