High temperature self-clean o The self-clean cycle is specially designed to clean the drum and internal components automatically and improves machine hygiene.

Child lock Your appliance has a child lock option, if this is set, it will mean that nobody can alter the operation of the wash program once it has started. o When the appliance is in use, press and hold the child lock buttons (5) & (7) for a few seconds to activate the child lock. No buttons on the control panel will be operable. o To deactivate the child lock, press the child lock buttons again. The buttons on the control panel will then be operable again.
Maintenance and cleaning In daily use o Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out. o Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle has completed. This should help to prevent stagnant smells and to protect the door seal. o After each washing program has finished, wipe up the remaining water on the rubber seal ring and seal fold to prevent any mildew and rot appearing. o Close the water tap.
Detergent drawer Occasionally the detergent drawer should be cleaned, to remove any detergent residue that has built up. o Press the detergent drawer limit part and pull out the drawer at the same time to remove from the machine. o Detergent can also accumulate inside the detergent drawer recess, so you should also clean this out using warm soapy water and a soft cloth. o Once you have finished cleaning the detergent drawer and recess, you should slide the drawer back into its original position.
Emergency drainage IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply. 1) Open the filter cover panel and place a container close to collect any water spillage. 2) Turn the emergency drain hole cap clockwise.
Cleaning the drain pump filter IMPORTANT: Switch off your washing machine and disconnect the plug from your mains supply. You should clean out the filter approximately every ten washes. If the drain pump filter is not cleaned regularly, then your appliance may find it difficult to pump out water efficiently. 1) Open the filter door and place a container close to it to collect any water spillage. 2) When no more water drains out, unscrew the pump cover and remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filter o Clean the filter when the water is slow to fill or error code E10 is displayed o Always pull the power plug out before cleaning. 1) Unscrew the inlet water pipe. 2) Clean with a tooth brush. Winter storage o You should install your appliance in a location where it will not be subjected to freezing temperatures. o If you are going to store your appliance in a location where the temperature will drop below freezing in winter, then you should follow the table below.
Removing stains Garments that are covered in stains, grease or are heavily soiled may need to be pre-washed or soaked before being placed inside of the washing machine. o Soaking helps to remove protein-type stains, like milk or grass. o Pre-washing helps to loosen soil before the main wash. Stain removal rules o Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains. o Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.
Chocolate and cocoa Tomato paste Leave your clothes in cold water and rub with soap or detergent, wash it in the highest temperature that the material type can endure.

Meat broth/ egg Eliminate the dried stain residues and wipe with a sponge or soft cloth wetted in cold water.
