Care and maintenance
Turning off the water or electricity supply
Turn off the water supply after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance’s water system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it, while on vacation and during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Checking the water inlet hoses
Check the water inlet hoses at least once a year. Clean the filters and the water valves. If you see any cracks, bulges or wear, replace hoses immediately; During the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
WARNING! Never use inlet hoses that have already been used.
IMPORTANT: Replace the inlet hoses at least every five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. When replacing the inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out. Wash it under running water; repeat as needed.
Caring for your appliance door and drum
When not in use, leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odors from forming.
Cleaning the interior
The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodically by a qualified service technician. Over time, continual oversudsing can clog up the condensing chamber and fan blower with lint and reduce drying efficiency.
