Washing Machines
MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING
To clean the washing machine
exterior, use a damp cloth, avoiding
abrasives, alcohol and/or solvents. To
maintain a good wash performance we
recommend that the soap drawer and
pump fi lters are regularly cleaned. A
monthly service wash, using a proprietary
cleaner is also recommended.
Drawer cleaning

We recommend you clean the
drawer to avoid accumulating detergent
and additive residue.

To do this, extract the drawer
using slight force, clean it with running
water and reinsert it in its housing.

Ensure the siphon cap is correctly
refi tted.
Filter cleaning

The washing machine comes
with a special fi lter able to trap large
residue, such as buttons or coins, which
could clog the drain.

Only available on certain models:
pull out the corrugated hose, remove
the stopper and drain the water into a
container.

Ensure all the water has been
emptied from the drum.

Before unscrewing the fi lter,
we recommend you place an absorbent
cloth under it to keep the fl oor dry. A
small amount of water will come out
of the fi lter as you remove it - this is
normal.

Turn the fi lter counter-clockwise
to the limit stop.

Remove and clean the fi lter;
when fi nished, replace it turning it
clockwise. The fi lter 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 fi lter seal will help refi tting.

Repeat the previous steps in
reverse order to reassemble all parts.
Suggestions for moves or
prolonged disuse

Should the washing machine be
stored in an unheated room for a long
period of time, drain all water from tubes.

Unplug the washing machine.

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 fi nished.

Keep the door glass and gasket clean.
