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 lime deposits. C0072 C0073 Cleaning the drawer recess Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum. After each wash Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal. Maintenance Wash With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis. To run a maintenance wash: q The drum should be empty of laundry. q Select the hottest cotton wash programme. q Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder (such as Ariel Futur). P0038 Cleaning the pump The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if · the machine does not empty and/or spin · the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. Proceed as follows: · Disconnect the appliance. · If necessary wait until the water has cooled down. · Open the pump door. External cleaning Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly. Cleaning the dispenser drawer The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. P1114 · Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage. [. . . ] Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor. P0254 P0509 Special conditions If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement.
