MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the machine :
Leave the lid open for a while after the wash to allow air
to circulate freely inside the machine;
The cabinet should be cleaned only with some soap-
suds and rinsed and dried carefully;
All polished, chromium plated and plastic parts should
only be cleaned with a damps cloth.
It is advisable, from time to time, to carry out a complete
cycle without a washing load, adding a decalcifying
product.
To help you clean them and remove any powder clots, the
hoppers of the machine powder dispensers are removable.
Cleaning the pump filter
The machine has got another mecanic filter located on the
front part to collect lint and small objects (toothpins, coins,
pins, etc.) inadvertently left in the clothes. It is essential
that this filter is cleaned regularly.
Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of articles
washed (cleaning should be more frequent if the articles
have no hem and tend to fray).
To clean the filter proceed as follows :
Open the flapdoor covering the filter by pressing the left
side of the filter door (fig. 1).
Place a container underneath to catch any spillage.
According to the models, complete the drain of the appliance
by taking away the yellow cap and by extracting the little
hose located on the left of the filter (fig. 2).
Turn the filter anticlockwise and
clean it thoroughly with running
water (fig. 3).
Refit the filter in the guides and
turn it clockwise.
Refit the little hose and the yellow
cap, then close the flapdoor.
