CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine.
Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE WASHING MACHINE
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing
machine.
Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring
powder or similar to clean the control panel – these
substances might damage the printing.
CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If
damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our
After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer.
Depending on the hose type:
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check
if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak
and should be replaced.
For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspection
window (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was
triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one.
For unscrewing this hose, press the release button (if
available) while unscrewing the hose.
CLEANING THE MESH FILTERS IN THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE

Now unscrew the inlet hose on the back of the washing
machine by hand. Pull out the mesh filter from the valve
on the back of the washing machine with pliers and
carefully clean it.
4.
Insert the mesh filter again. Connect the inlet hose to
water tap and washing machine again. Do not use a tool
to connect the inlet hose. Open the water tap and check
that all connections are tight.
