Cleaning and routine maintenance

- Cleaning the filter.
Cleaning the drawer compartments
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the compartments for bleaching detergents and additives occasionally.
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without forcing them.
B)Clean everything in the compartment under running water.
C)Put everything back in its proper place.
Cleaning the filter
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for handling large deposits which could block the discharge hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be easily retrieved.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned at least once a month.
The cleaning operation is as follows:
1) Open the lid as shown in picture.
2) Turn the filter
Remove and clean.
3) After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end of the filter clockwise. Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order.
4) Close the lid.
Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter.

Transporting the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in use
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses.
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out.
When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.
