IMPORTANT!
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.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is
possible to get a build up of residues inside the
drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
●
The drum should be empty of laundry.
●
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
●
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be
a powder with biological properties.
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.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out
under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small brush
to clean the recess,
ensuring that all washing
powder residue is
removed from the upper
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 if
●
the machine does not empty and/or spin
●
the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
●
Disconnect the appliance.
●
If necessary wait until the water has cooled
down.
●
Open the pump door.
●
Place a container close
to the pump to collect
any spillage.
●
Pull out the emergency
emptying hose, place it
in the container and
remove its cap.
●
When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump cover and remove it. Always keep a rag
nearby to dry up spillage of water when
removing the cover.
●
Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
●
Put the cap back on the emergency emptying
hose and place the latter back in its seat.
