Disconnect the appliance before cleaning.
Descaling the appliance
It is not generally necessary to descale the appliance if
the correct amount of detergent is used.
However, if scale builds up, use a specific non corrosive
product specially designed for washing machines avail-
able in the shops.
Use the correct amount of descaler and the correct
descaling frequency specified on the packaging.
After each wash cycle
We recommend that the lid and drum are left open after
use to air the drum and prevent mould and stagnant
smells forming.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with warm
water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important: never use alcohol, solvents or similar prod-
ucts.
Detergent dispenser
Removal :
Press the clips located on either side of the dispensing
drawer and pull it upwards.
You can then clean it with running water and a brush or
cloth.
Check that the siphons located at the rear of the
dispensing drawer are not blocked.
Maintenance and cleaning
Refitting :
Reposition the detergent dispenser in the slots until it is
clipped in.
Drain filter
Regularly clean the filter located at the bottom of the
appliance ("Filter" light illuminates when this filter is
blocked). If you frequently wash laundry which sheds
fluff, clean the filter after each wash. Lower the drain
hose over a large bowl placed on the floor to drain any
water remaining in the machine then:
to drain the residual water:
a. Open the flap
b. Place a shallow straight edged bowl underneath.
To finish draining, turn the drain filter plug so that it is
vertical and can release the residual water.
to clean the filter:

remove.
b. Clean it thoroughly under running water.
