Door seal
• Dry the door seal after each washing with an
absorbent cotton cloth; make sure that the door
seal is completely dry before closing the door of
the empty washing machine.

or three times a year (see “Draining Residual

GB 7
Appliance exterior and control panel
• Clean with a soft damp cloth.
• If necessary, use some soapy water or a mild
neutral detergent (do not use detergents containing
solvents, abrasive detergents, window or general-
purpose cleaners - they may harm the surfaces).
Appliance interior
• After each washing, leave the door open for some
time to allow the inside of the appliance to dry.
• If you never or seldom wash your laundry at
95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C
programme without laundry, adding a small
amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the
appliance clean.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Water inlet hose(s) (picture C, D or E - depending on
model)
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace it
if necessary using a new hose of the same type.
The inlet hose as shown on picture “D” has a safety valve to prevent
the appliance against uncontrolled water inlet; if the safety valve
inspection window is red, the safety valve has been activated and the
hose must be exchanged. Contact out After-Sales Service or your
specialist dealer to obtain a new inlet hose. For unscrewing the inlet
hose as shown on picture “D”, you must push down the release lever
while unscrewing it.
If your inlet hose has a transparent hose coating (pict. “E”), periodically
check the colour of the transparent coating. If the transparent hose
shows a local dark colour change, this is an indication that the hose
may have a leak and should be replaced. Contact our After-Sales Service
team or specialist dealer to obtain a replacement hose.
Cleaning the mesh filter in the water inlet hose(s)
1. Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap.
2. Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose
back onto the tap.
3. Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine.
4. Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine connection
with universal pliers and clean it.
5. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again.
6. Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely
water-tight.
