Easy Care and Maintenance
Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life and on the
job. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.
Margherita is a washing machine
designed to last a lifetime
without any problems. A few
simple steps help keep it in shape
and last longer. Firstly, you must
close the water tap after each
wash: the constant pressure of
water could warp a few of the
component parts.
In addition, by doing so, you will
avoid the risk of leaks when no-
one is at home.
If the water in your area is too
hard, use a deliming product
(water is hard if it often leaves
whitish stains around taps or
drains, especially of bath tubs.
For more accurate information as
to the type of water in your
system, call the local water
works or a local plumber).
Pockets must always be emptied
removing even pins, badges and
any other hard object.
The washing machine exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.
Never exaggerate with
doses.
Normal detergents already
contain deliming agents. Only if
the water is particularly hard,
that is, rich in lime content, do
we recommend the use of a
specific product at every wash.
A periodical wash cycle with a
dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or washing,
may prove useful.
Never use too much detergent or
additives because this could cau-
se an excess amount of foam,
scaling and possible damage to
the component parts of your
washing machine.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
Margherita comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects
may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage,
they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.
It is important to
wash the detergent
dispenser regularly.
To prevent dried
washing powder from
accumulating, place
the dispenser under
running water for a
few minutes.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause
damage to your friend Margherita.
To access this pre-chamber, just remove the panel covering the
bottom of the washing machine using a screwdriver (figure 1);
then lift the cover rotating it anti-clockwise (figure 2) and check
its contents accurately.
The rubber hose
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any
cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washing
machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube
could easily split open.
Attention:
make sure that the wash cycle has come to a full stop and unplug the appliance before removing the
lid as well as before any type of maintenance procedure. It is normal to find that a little water comes out after
removing the lid. When replacing the panel, make sure you insert the hooks situated at the bottom of the washing
machine in the right slots before pushing it back against the appliance.
