For proper and safe machine operation, the maintenance procedures
described below should be followed.
Frequency of maintenance should be based on the machine's degree of
use.
Daily• Check door and safety lock:
- Open the door and try to start machine. It should not start.
- Close the door, start machine and try to open the door. It should not
be possible to open the door.
- Make sure the door does not leak.
- Clean the door seal of any residual detergent.
• Check that the drain valve does not leak during operation.
• Clean detergent dispenser of any residual detergent.
Every three months• To check the safety lock security function in case of power failure:
- Start the machine and allow it to operate at least one minute (so that
the bimetal spring in the lock mechanism warms up). It should not be
possible to open the door during this time.
- Turn the main supply off. The drain valve should now open and any
remaining water flushed out. The door should remain locked approx. 1
minute after the power cut-off.
• Check the machine drain and remove any lint.
• Inspect inside the machine (directly during washing to detect any
possible leakage).
- Turn the main supply off.
- Remove top cover, rear and front protection panels.
- Check that hose connections do not leak.
- Check the V-belts, stretch or replace them when necessary (see
Chapter 30. Motor).
- Check that water does not leak onto the foundation. Such leakage
may indicate that the machine's radial packing needs to be replaced.
- If heating takes an unusually long time, check for lime deposits on the
heating element. When necessary remove the deposits with a
deliming agent.
