Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and
a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under
a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.
Detergent can also eventually accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit
the drawer after cleaning.
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
■
Turn off the water tap.
■
Unscrew the inlet hose.
■
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme until
the selector dial is in the “Stop” position.
■
Disconnect the appliance.
■
Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
■
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above
0°C.
