Descaling the
washing machine
Caution:
Descaling agents contain acids which can attack
parts of the washing machine and discolour the
laundry.
Provided that you use the correct amount of
detergent, it is not necessary to descale the
washing
machine.
If, however, descaling the appliance becomes
necessary, please follow the instructions provided
by the descaling agent manufacturer.
Frost protection
Draining the water inlet hose:
1. Turn the tap OFF.
2. Unscrew the hose from the tap and hold the end
of the
hose over a container.
3. Switch ON any of the washing programmes for
approximately 40 seconds. Water left inside the
inlet hose will be
drained out.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap.
If the washer-dryer is located in a room which is
exposed to freezing temperatures, any residual
water in both the pump and the water inlet hose
must be drained immediately every time the
machine is used.
Draining the pump:
See “Cleaning the pump” on page 34.
