I I I Programme and temperature setting using the programme selector. Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 95°C programme, prevents distortion of plastic pipes in the domestic water system due to the high temperature of the water. The two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather. In the interest of the environment I I Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: I Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.

Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the machine prematurely. When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished. 18 Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the 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 lime deposits. 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. External cleaning Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly. Cleaning the dispenser drawer From time to time the washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned. 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. C0023 C0027 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 for a few minutes without any clothes in the drum. P0038 19 Cleaning the filter The water drain filter A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every washing programme. Open the filter door and place a container underneath to catch any spillage. [. . . ] Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration. If possible, always place the machine on a solid floor. P1051 Special conditions If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the machine. Warning The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile carpeting. [. . . ]
