The cabinet

Clean the outside surfaces of the machine using a mild

solution of washing up liquid and water. Finish by removing

remaining traces of the product with a damp cloth.

The detergent drawer

In time, residues of detergent and fabric conditioner are

likely to build up inside the detergent drawer. It should

be cleaned at regular intervals by flushing it out with water.

If necessary, the whole drawer can be taken out of the

machine for cleaning. Pull the drawer out as normal until

it stops at the retaining stop. With a hand each side of the

body of the drawer and with care, give the drawer a sharp

tug towards you so it becomes free of the retaining stop

(Fig. 1).

To remove the syphon (at the inside edge of the drawer) for

cleaning, you need to press it inwards and pull it upwards at

the same time (Fig. 2). When you put it back, press it

downwards until you hear a distinct click.

Inside the recess for the detergent

drawer

Detergent residues can also build up inside the recess

for the detergent drawer. You can use an old toothbrush

for cleaning this area (Fig. 3). When you have finished and

put back the drawer, run a short programme with no wash

load in the machine to rinse it clean.

Cleaning inside the machine

If you mostly use your machine for low-temperature washes

and/or if you use only very little detergent, you should clean

the inside of the machine about once a month. This will

prevent mould or stale odours from developing.

Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a biological

powder (such as Ariel Futur) and run a wash programme

at the highest temperature with no wash load in the

machine.

Descaling

If your water supply is harder than 7° dH, you should descale

your washing machine at least once every three months.

Use approx. 150 ml of citric acid instead of detergent and

run a wash programme at the highest temperature with no

wash load in the machine. Limescale deposits on compo-

nents such as the machine's heating element will reduce

their service life. (Contact your water company to find out

the hardness level of your local water supply).

Protecting the machine against freezing

If the machine is kept in a place where the temperature

may sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk that the

small amount of water which remains inside parts of the

machine after normal use will freeze and damage it.

To prevent this you should:

1. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the

water inlet hose from the supply tap.

2. Select a wash programme, start the machine

and let the programme run for a short time.

3. Interrupt the programme by turning the pro-

gramme selector to the ”Reset” position.

4. Place the end of the inlet and discharge hoses

down low, into the waste gully (floor drain) set

into the floor. Make sure that the end of the

hose does not go below the water level in the

gully's (drain's) water trap.

5. Select the programme ”Drain” and let that run

until it is finished.

6. Turn the programme selector to the ”Reset”

position.

The appliance is only to be used and stored

indoors at normal room temperature. The manu-

facture is not responsible for any frost damage.

Do not use cleaning products which contain

alcohol (spirits), thinners and similar substances.
