SINCE THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT
FACTORY FAULTS, THEY ARE THE
OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITY
•
Damage to the exterior finish, breakage of
components, damage through improper
use or installation of the washing machine
or damage caused by moving the washing
machine.
Before calling a Service technician or your
dealer, please check the following:
•
Is the machine plugged into the wall
socket? Is the house circuit breaker on?
•
Is the machine switched on? Has the
washer lid been closed properly?
•
Is the detergent dose correct? Is the filter
clean? Is the tap open?
•
Is there a water supply to the home? Have
any of the hoses been twisted or kinked?
•
Check if the machine is level.
Owners Responsibility
Maintenance and cleaning
If cleaned at regular intervals, the service life
of the machine will be extended and
frequently faced problems will decrease.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
Cleaning the body and control panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy
water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents
as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth. Use
only a soft and damp cloth to clean the
control panel.
Cleaning the water intake filters
1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake
hoses to access the filters on the water
intake valves. Clean them with an
appropriate brush.
3. If the filters are very dirty, take them out
with the aid of pliers and clean the filters.
Draining remaining water and cleaning the
pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents
solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric
fibres clogging the pump impeller during
discharge of washing water. This ensures
easy water discharge and the service life of
the pump will be extended. If the machine
fails to drain water, the pump filter is
clogged. The filter must be cleaned
whenever it is clogged or once every 3
months.
Water must be drained off first to clean the
pump filter. In addition, prior to transporting
the machine (e.g., when moving to another
house) and in case of freezing of the water,
water may have to be drained completely.
Pull detergent drawer towards yourself. Tilt
detergent drawer upwards, and remove
drawer.
Follow the instructions on cleaning the
detergent drawer.
There is a filter at the end of each water
intake valve at the rear of the machine.
These filters prevent foreign substances and
dirt in the water from entering the washing
machine. Filters should be cleaned as they
do get dirty.
Clean the detergent drawer every 4-5
washing cycles to prevent the accumulation
of powder detergent over time. Wash the
detergent drawer with plenty of lukewarm
water in a wash basin. Wear protective
gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid
skin contact with the residues in the drawer
whilst cleaning. Insert the drawer back into
its place after cleaning and ensure that it is
properly seated.
