Care and cleaning
You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you
can carry out any cleaning or

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 manufacturers
instructions. This will help to prevent the
formation of lime deposits.

water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
hose.
