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.
After each wash
Leave the door open...
