Care and cleaning
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 manufacturers
instructions. This will help to prevent
the formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open...

Cleaning the water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct
operating of the machine, and should
therefore be cleaned after every wash-
ing programme.
Place a container underneath to catch
any spillage. If the filter is blocked and
the machine is unable to drain you will
need to drain the water manually from
the machine at this stage. 
To do this, unhook the drain hose from
the standpipe or sink and hold the end
of the hose over a bowl on the floor.

Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a
hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet
hose. 
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to tempera-
tures below 0°C, certain precautions
should be taken.
 Turn off the water tap.
 Unscrew the inlet hose.
 Unhook the drain...
