The washing machine cabinet
Clean the washing machine from the outside using lukewarm water and a gentle cleaning agent, which will
not damage the surface coat of the washing machine cabinet. After rinsing with clean water, wipe the washing
machine with a soft and dry wiping cloth.
WARNING!
If you have installed the washing machine in a place where the ambient temperature falls below
0°C and you will not be using it, do the following:
•
Connect the washing machine to a power socket.
• Close the water tap and disconnect the supply hose or hoses.
• Insert the end of the drain hose and supply hose into a container on the ground.
• Set to program selector to the drain program.
• The program indicator light will turn on.
• Start the program by pressing the Start/pause button.
• After the program has fi nished (the end indicator light will turn on) disconnect the washing
machine from the power socket.
After completing these steps the remaining water in the washing machine will be drained, which
will avoid the danger of it freezing inside the washing machine. If you wish to use the washing
machine again, ensure that the ambient temperature is above 0°C.
The Drum
Do not leave any metal items inside the washing machine, such as needles, clips or coins, etc. These items can
cause rusty stains to appear on the drum. If you wish to remove these stains, use a cleaning agent
not containing chloride and follow the instruct of the cleaning agent's manufacturer. Never use steel wool
used for dishes, or any other similar abrasive items to clean the rusty stains.
Removal of scale deposits from the washing machine
We recommend the use of a commonly available scale remover and to follow the instructions printed on the
packaging.
WARNING!
