Checking and maintenance every six months
The filters in the water connection at the valves need to be cleaned. Turn off the tap. Unscrew the hoses
at the back of the appliance. Take out the filter at the center with pointed pliers, clean and
re-insert. When re-attaching the hoses, make sure that the seals are seated correctly. Check water inlets
for leaks. Tighten the connections or replace the seals of the inlet hose if necessary.
If your machine is fitted with a drain
pump, make sure that the pump
provides normal flow rate during
draining. The drain pump can be
cleaned only when it becomes
clogged/choked with foreign bodies
such as buttons, hairpins etc. Before
the cleaning procedure, drain all the
water from the machine. Then disconnect
the machine from the power supply by
removing the plug from the socket.
Remove the front panel of the cabinet by
unlocking the 2 bolts, figure 32, pos.1.
Slightly turn the pump lid, pos. 2 until water starts flowing out. Be careful to catch this water. Then completely
unscrew the lid and remove the foreign objects. After the cleaning procedure, screw the pump lid, pos.2 back on,
and fit back the front panel of the cabinet.
WARNING!
BEFORE REMOVING TOP OR BACK PANEL OF THE MACHINE, SWITCH POWER OFF AND WAIT
FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. BEFORE STARTING INSPECTION OF FREQUENCY INVERTER,

Replacement of door rubber
Open the door. Remove the door glass with rubber from the door frame by pushing it towards the drum.
Do it carefully, do not damage the glass.
Remove the gasket from the glass.
Place a new rubber gasket with wider groove on the glass with the edge up.
Place a smooth cord in the groove all around. Tighten up the margin by cord and fit the unit to the door opening.
Hold one end of the cord firmly on the door. Pull the other cord end towards the center of the glass
so the rubber edge can properly fit into it.
Apply a small amount of silicone in the place between the door frame and the rubber sealing – in the
upper and lower parts of the frame. Make sure the silicone is not pushed over the door sealing outline
when the door is closed. Leave the door closed until the silicone cures.
Important note:
There is a possibility that after replacing the door seal the door seal pressure on the door
lock side and hinge side can be too high. If this situation occurs, run the Wash program 1 without any laundry.
