7. CARE AND CLEANING 

Do not do any cleaning operation until you have unplugged
the washing machine.

7.1. Descaling the washing machine

Normally there is no need to descale the washing machine
if the detergent was correctly proportioned.
If descaling is necessary, use a special non-corrosive pro-
duct specially designed for washing machines that you can 
find in the shops.  Respect the proportion and frequency of 
descaling shown on your packaging.

7.2. The surface

Clean the surface of your washing machine using lu-
kewarm water and a mild detergent.  Never use alcohol, 
solvents or similar products.

7.3. The detergents dispenser

From time to time, you must clean the detergents dispen-
ser in order to eliminate the possible wastes of the deter-
gents and then to avoid an operating problem. 
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a light
cleaning.

Disassembly:

Press the clips on each side of the
detergents dispenser and pull it
upwards.

You can thus clean it using run-
ning water and a brush or a twis-
ted cloth.  Check that the siphons
at the back of the detergents dis-
penser are not blocked.

Reassembly :

Put the detergents dispenser in
the notches until they lock.

7.4. The drain filter

Clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine regu-
larly.  The "filter"

*

 light  comes on if the filter is blo-cked. In

this case clean it immediately. If you wash washing that is
very fluffy, clean it after each wash.

Open the door, with a screwdriver for example:

Drain residual water:

Put a receptacle under the drain.
Turn the cap in the anti-clockwise
direction until it is vertical to re-
lease residual water.

Remove the filter:

Unscrew the cap all the way and
take it off.  Clean it tho-roughly
with running water.  Put the as-
sembly back and screw it in the
clockwise direction.

After cleaning the filter, you are required to closed the
door. In fact, for reasons of safety, the door must be closed
when the appliance is working.
