Which detergent?. . . To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. Whites We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures. Non Biological If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal.

Descaling The water we normally use contains lime. To help prevent the formation of lime deposits we recommend you periodically, particularly in hard water areas, use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry and according to the manufacturer's instructions. After each wash Leave the lid and the drum open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. External Cleaning Wipe the exterior cabinet of the appliance with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning products. Cleaning the detergent dispenser The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove. Press the pressure tabs located on each side of the detergent dispenser inwards and pull it up (fig. 1 and fig. 2). Clean the detergent dispenser under running water with a brush or cloth (fig. 3).
