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.
Parts of the housing made from stainless
steel can be cleaned using a suitable
proprietary stainless steel cleaning agent.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as
they will damage the surface material.
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 detergents or other residues.
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.

Cleaning and care

To clean the drip channel and the siphons in
the detergent dispenser open out the
detergent dispenser cover. If a siphon is
blocked a bottle brush can be used.
The grille over the suds container ventilation
at the side of the machine should be
checked for soiling from time to time and
cleaned if necessary.
The drum closing mechanism should be
checked regularly to make sure it is working
properly. Any fluff that has built up around
the drum door must be removed.
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.
