7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Important – Before cleaning or servicing the machine, remove the plug from the socket.

7.1EXTERNAL CLEANING

Regular and constant cleaning will keep your appliance looking like new.

Clean the unit with specific products for steel and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.

Clean parts in plastic with a damp cloth.

Do not scratch with sharp objects and do not use solvents or abrasive products as these will damage the surface.

For reasons of safety, never spray water onto the appliance.

7.2CLEANING THE DRUM

Remove any rust stains from the drum with a special cleaner for stainless steel or, for particularly stubborn stains, with extra fine abrasive paper.

To remove scale from the washer dryer, only use branded scale removers with anti-corrosion agents for washing machines.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommended quantities to the letter.

After removing scale or rust from the drum, perform a few rinse cycles to eliminate acid residues as these may damage the machine. Never use detergents containing solvents. These may form vapours that may catch fire and explode.

7.3CLEANING THE DOOR GASKET

Periodically check that no clips, buttons, nails or needles have got caught in the folds of the door gasket.

7.4 CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP

1.Remove the plug from the socket to disconnect the machine from the electrical power supply.

2.Pull out the base plate. To do this, put your hands underneath and lever it out.
