Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECTthe appliance from the electricity
supply.
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

After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to...

cover and remove it. Always keep a cloth nearby to

place the latter back in its seat.

programme selected there can be hot water in the pump.
