Switching off the electricity
• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the
wear of the appliance’s water system and also prevent
leaks.
• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all
maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
Cleaning the exterior
Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior
surfaces of the appliance.
Cleaning the door bowl
Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly with a
soft cloth. A build-up of soap powder and water hardness
residue may result in water leaking from the door.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer and compartments
It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.
! Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer while
the machine is running.
1. Pull out the drawer until it
reaches its stop.
2. Press the drawer release
button to remove the dispenser
drawer (see figure).
3. Clean and dry the dispenser
drawer, syphons, grate and fabric
conditioner exit channel (A). Also
regularly clean the outlet pipe
area (B).
4. Relocate the dispenser drawer and push it firmly back
into place.
! Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive
cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal
polish as they may cause damage.
Caring for your appliance door and drum
• Always leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see
any cracks, replace it immediately. During the wash
cycles, high water pressure could cause a cracked hose
to split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
