Care and cleaning
Warning! You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you can carry
out any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the
machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing,
and according to the softening powder manufacturer's
instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of
lime deposits.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by
pressing the catch down-
wards and by pulling it
out. Flush it out under a
tap, to remove any traces
of accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the top
part of the additive com-
partment should be re-
moved.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the re-
cess, ensuring that all
washing powder residue
is removed from the up-
per and lower part of the
recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particular-
ly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during drain-
ing due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc.
blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see chap-
ter “What to do if...” for more details).
Warning! Before opening the pump door, switch
the appliance off and remove the mains plug from
the socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down.
Open the pump door.
Place a container close
to the pump to collect
any spillage.
