4. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
To clean the washing machine exterior, use a
damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or
solvents. The washing machine does not
require any special care for ordinary cleaning:
clean drawer compartments and the filter;
some tips on how to move the machine or on
long periods of disuse are provided below.
The washing machine comes with a
special filter able to trap large residue,
such as buttons or coins, which could
clog the drain.
Only available on certain models: pull out
the corrugated hose, remove the stopper
and drain the water into a container.
Before unscrewing the filter, we
recommend you place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry.
Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop in the vertical position.
Remove and clean the filter; when
finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
Repeat the previous steps in reverse
order to reassemble all parts.
Should the washing machine be stored in
an unheated room for a long period of
time, drain all water from tubes.
Unplug the washing machine.
Detach the tube from the strap and lower
it, fully draining water into a bowl.
Secure the drain tube with the strap when
finished.
Press button (A).
Hold down the button and turn the
detergent dispenser outwards.
Remove the dispenser and clean it.
In the case of the pre-wash (I) and wash (II)
compartments, it is advisable to remove any
dried-in remains of detergent which obstruct
the flow of the detergent to the drum.
In the case of the fabric conditioner
compartment, the trap (S) located at the
rear part of the dispenser should be
removed by pulling them out.
Remove any solid residue which could
block the holes in the compartments.
