Cleaning the Exterior:

Use a  damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior surfaces of the
appliance.

Maintenance Wash:

We recommend a maintenance wash 2 or 3 times a year, to avoid a build
up of greasy deposits and water hardness residue.
Simply run wash programme ‘C’ without any laundry in the drum, using
the usual amount of detergent.

Cleaning the Door Bowl:

Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly with a soft cloth.
A build up of soap powder and water hardness residue may result in
water leaking from the door.

DO NOT clean any part of the machine with abrasive cleaners, scouring
agents, acids, chlorine based bleach or metal polish as they may cause 
damage.

Interlocking Door System:

To Open...
Grip the door release lever whilst opening the door.

To Close...
Apply pressure at the 2 o’clock position until the door clicks.

Indicator Light...
When the machine is switched on, the door will lock and after a few 
seconds the door locked indicator light will illuminate. The indicator light
will remain lit throughout the programme.
Approximately 1-2 minutes after the programme has finished the 
indicator light will go out and the door can be opened.
WARNING: Do not attempt to open the door whilst the indicator light is on.
