Care and maintenance
Turning off the water or
electricity supply
Turn off the water supply after every wash. This
will limit the wear of your appliance’s water
system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your
appliance when cleaning it, while on vacation
and during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance
can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in
lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or
abrasives.
Cleaning the dispenser
drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it
out. Wash it under running water; repeat as
needed.
Caring for your appliance
door and drum
When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar
to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.
Checking the water inlet
hoses
Check the water inlet hoses at least once a year.
Clean the filters and the water valves. If you see
any cracks, bulges or wear, replace hoses
immediately; During the wash cycles, water
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could
easily split open.
Cleaning the interior
The interior of the machine should be cleaned
periodically by a qualified service technician. Over
time, continual oversudsing can clog up the
condensing chamber and fan blower with lint and
reduce drying efficiency.
IMPORTANT : Replace the inlet hoses at
least every five years of use to reduce the
risk of hose failure. When replacing the
inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
WARNING ! Never use inlet hoses that have
already been used.
