5. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Looking after your appliance correctly can
extend its lifespan.
Disconnect the machine from the power
supply.
Clean the appliance’s external cabinet,
using a damp cloth and

ABRASIVES, ALCOHOL AND/OR
DILUENTS
.
It is advisable to regularly clean the
detergent drawer to avoid the
accumulation of detergent and additive
residues.
Remove the drawer gently but firmly.
Clean the drawer under running water
and put it back into its compartment.
The appliance has a special filter that
traps larger residues that could block the
draining system, such as buttons or
coins.
We recommend checking and cleaning
the filter 5 or 6 times a year.
Disconnect the machine from the power
supply.
Ensure all the water has been emptied
from the drum.
Before unscrewing the filter, we
recommend you place an absorbent towel
under it to keep the floor dry. A small
amount of water will come out of the filter
as you remove it - this is normal.
Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop.
Remove and clean the filter; when
finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
The filter handle will be locked when it is
not possible to turn any further and the
handle is horizontal. Smearing a small
amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will
help refitting.
Repeat the previous steps in reverse
order to reassemble all parts.
If the appliance is kept in a non-heated
room for long periods of time, all water
residues must be completely removed
from the pipes.
Disconnect the machine from the power
supply socket.
Detach the tube from the drainage system
and clip on the rear of the machine and
lower it, fully draining water into a bowl.
Secure the drain tube with the drainage
system and clip on the rear of the
machine when finished.
Keep the door glass and gasket clean.
