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:
• The drum should be empty of laundry.
• Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
• Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such a Ariel Futur).
The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below
0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off both the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Unhook the drain hose from the rear support
and position the end in a bowl. Run the draining
programme.
To do this:
- Switch the machine on.
- Select a washing programme.
- Press the SKIP/RESET button three times.
- Press START/PAUSE button.
• Disconnect the appliance.
• Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain
hose.
• When you intend to start the machine again,
make sure that the room temperature is above
0°C.
