MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with neutral
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
AND THE RECESS
Pull the drawer to remove (slightly at first till the stop, then
pull hard).
Flush well under a fast running tab.
Clean the recess with a small brush.
Replace the drawer.
CLEANING THE DRAIN FILTER
A clean filter is important for
correct functioning of the
washing machine, and it
should therefore be cleaned
regularly. Small objects left
in the pockets and yarn is
retained here.
Unscrew the filter
completely turning it
anticlockwise.
Remove the filter and clean
it under a fast running tap.
Replace the filter turning now clockwise and tighten it.
CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE
FILTER
If it takes longer to fill up
the washing machine it is
time to check the water inlet
hose filter it may be
clogged. Turn off the water
tap. Unscrew the fixing nut
of the inlet hose. Remove
the filter from the
electrovalve and clean it
with a hard bristle brush
and replace it. Screw on the
nut thoroughfully.
THE DANGERS OF FREEZING
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0ºC,
certain precautions should be taken.
* Turn off the water tap and unscrew the inlet hose.
* Select a wash program and run for a few seconds.
* Position the end of the drain hose in a bowl on the floor.
* Run the draining program for a few seconds.
This way you make sure no water at all remains in the
appliance which could freeze and thus damage it and its
surroundings.
When you need to start the machine up again, make sure
that the room temperature is above 0°C.
