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. 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. P0038 Cleaning the filter The water drain filter A clean filter is important for the correct operating 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. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out. 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. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. C0023 C0027 P0011 P0132 16 Unscrew and remove the filter. Clean carefully under a fast running tap. The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. n Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hoses in a bowl. n When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C. P0133 P0040 Warning When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filter. Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it. The water inlet filters If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged. Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.
