At the end of the programme
The appliance stops automatically. The display
and all the pilot lights go off. The drum lamp
lights up and the door can be opened.
At the end of a programme with RINSE HOLD

is water in the tub.

: the water is just
drained without spinning.
Remove the laundry from the drum and
carefully check if the drum is empty.
If you do not intend to carry out another wash,
close the water tap.
DO NOT leave the door open. An open door
could entice children to hang on the door or
crawl inside the drum.
Note
If there are no small children present, leave the
door open to prevent the formation of mildew
and unpleasant smells.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is
a good idea to periodically use a water
softening powder in the appliance. Do this
separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder
manufacturer's instructions. This will help to
prevent the formation of lime deposits.
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 add a 1/2 cup of
liquid bleach to the detergent compartment of
the dispenser drawer and fill the bleach
dispenser compartment to the Max Fill level
and run WITHOUT a clothes load selecting the
Cotton programme at 90°C.
IMPORTANT!
Before cleaning the appliance interior, unplug
the electrical power cord to avoid electrical
shock hazards.
