CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Keep your washing machine in shape
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that
moisture and odours do not remain trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always
remove the plug from the outlet. Do not run risks.
When you go on holiday, it is advisable to run a wash
cycle with the washing machine being empty. After that
remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water
supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar.
This will help the seals last longer as well as prevent the
originating of disagreeable odours within the appliance.
If the appliance has to be displaced, try to keep it
upright. If absolutely necessary, it can be tilted
backwards.
Cleaning the exterior parts
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the washing
machine, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy
water.
To remove spots or stains from the surface of the
interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little
white vinegar, or a cleaning product made especially for
washing machines.
To clean the control panel, use a slightly dampened
cloth; dry thoroughly.
To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the washing machine.
To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and
electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of
any kind.
Never use sharp items or rough sponges on the exterior
surfaces, because this thems could scratch the
Surface.
