Switching off the electricity
• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance’s water system and
also prevent leaks.
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during
all maintenance operations.
Cleaning
Cleaning the exterior
Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior
surfaces of the appliance.
Cleaning the door bowl
Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly

hardness residue may result in water leaking from the
door.

Caring for your appliance door and
drum
• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you
see any cracks, replace it immediately. During the
wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a
cracked hose to split open.
