Cleaning the machine
To clean the casing, the control panel
and all the plastic components in
general, use a sponge or a cloth
dampened only with water and liquid
soap.
Never use:
• Abrasive powders
• Plastic or metal sponges
• Alcohol-based products (alcohol, thinner,
etc.)
Maintaining the internal
components
To ensure optimum hygiene, we recommend
that you:
• Leave the door open for a short time after
the wash, (ensure that your children and pets
cannot get into the machine)
•Clean the plastic and rubber components
providing access to the inside approximately
once a month with a slightly chlorinated
cleaning product.
To eliminate any residual traces of this
product, programme a rinse.
• Run a 90°C washing cycle at least once a
month.
Risk of frost
If there is a risk of frost, disconnect the water
hose and empty any water in the drain hose
by placing it as low as possible in a basin.
Periodic checks
We recommend that you check the condition
of the water and drain hoses. If you notice the
slightest cracking, do not hesitate to replace
them with identical hoses available from the
manufacturer or his After-Sales Service.
Replacing the water hose
When replacing this, ensure that the
connections are tight and that there is a rubber
seal at both ends.

Cleaning the detergent dispensing
drawer
To clean the products' box, pull it towards you
and then remove it from its housing by pressing
on the point indicated on the siphon (the
coloured component). Rinse the box in water
and also clean its housing before replacing it.
Cleaning the siphon
Wash the siphon (the coloured component
in the products' box) every 30 to 40 doses of
detergent. Remove the siphon by holding it
by the edges. To avoid the siphon becoming
blocked, rinse any residual softener away
carefully and ensure that it is refitted perfectly
in place before using the machine.
