The machine should be cleaned and checked over
immediately after use where possible.
,
Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean
the machine.
The housing, control panel and any plastic
components should be cleaned using a suitable mild
cleaning agent, applied with a soft damp cloth. Rub
dry with a soft cloth after cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as they will
damage the surface material.
Parts of the housing made from stainless steel can be
cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless steel
cleaning agent.
Any deposits on the door seals should be wiped off
using a damp cloth.
Clean the detergent dispenser, dispenser
compartments and siphons
The detergent dispenser, dispenser compartments
and siphons must be cleaned after each use with
warm water to thoroughly remove any residues of
detergents or other agents. If the machine is not
going to be used for a while the detergent dispenser
should be left open to air the compartment. The
siphon in the dispenser compartment for fabric
conditioner should also be cleaned.
Remove the siphon and clean with hot water. Then
put it back in place.
Pull the detergent dispenser flap out to a 45° angle to
allow cleaning of the drip channel and the siphons. If
a siphon is blocked a bottle brush can be used.
The grille over the cooling fan at the back of the
machine should be checked for soiling from time to
time and cleaned if necessary.
Superficial rust
The drum and suds container are manufactured from
rust free stainless steel.
Water with a very high iron content, or foreign objects
such as paper clips, metal buttons etc. which get into
the drum with the laundry can cause superficial
rusting in the drum and suds container.
To prevent this happening the drum and suds
container should be checked and cleaned regularly
and if rusting does occur it should be removed using
a proprietary cleaning agent for stainless steel.
The door seals should be checked for foreign objects
regularly and cleaned as described above.
Leave the door ajar after cleaning to allow the
machine to dry.
