What to do after you have finished your washing.
• Press the Power button to switch off the machine.
• Switch off the electricity at the power point.
• Turn off the water taps.
• Leave lid open for a while. This allows time for moisture
inside the washing machine to evaporate and for any
odours to disperse.
Cleaning the dispenser

see if there is any residue of detergent or fabric softener.
To do this proceed as follows:
• Pull the dispenser drawer forward until it stops.
• Lift the front of the drawer up and forward to remove it
from the runners.
• Remove the siphon cap from the drawer spigot as
shown below.
• Clean the dispenser drawer, siphon cap and spigot with
hot water and a brush, eg. an old toothbrush.
• Dry the drawer and cap.
• Put siphon cap back onto the spigot, ensuring the cap
is fully pressed down.
• Before replacing the dispenser back in its recess, clean
the inside of the drawer with an old toothbrush.
• Put the dispenser back into its runners and close the
drawer.
