Cleaning and routine maintenance
Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your
washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice.The washing
machine needs very little maintenance:
Cleaning the drawer compartments.
Cleaning the filter.

Cleaning the drawer

Clean the compartments occasionally to remove detergents and additives.
A) To do this you just need to pull the drawer out firmly from the machine, but
without forcing it.
B) Clean the compartments and the
syphon cap under running
water.
C) Replace the drawer.

Cleaning the filter

The washing machine is fitted with a
special filter to prevent items such as
coins, buttons, etc.blocking the
discharge hose.These may be retrieved
by:
1. Removing the kickplate by gently
pulling it from the bottom in an
outwards and upwards direction.
2. Use the kickplate to collect the
water still in the filter.
3. Use a screwdriver to loosen the
screw holding the filter, turn the
filter anticlockwise until it stops,
remove it and clean it.
After cleaning it, reassemble
following the above instructions in
reverse order.Replace the kickplate.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned
frequently, at least once a month.
