Care and Maintenance

The washing machine needs very little maintenance, but regular attention to a few small details will ensure the continued performance of your washing machine.

Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, solvent-based cleaners or polishes; wiping the outside of the machine with a damp cloth will suffice.

Cleaning the soap dispenser

It is advisable to clean the compartments occasionally to remove detergents and additives. To do this you need to do the following:

Step 1. Pull the drawer out firmly from the machine, but without forcing it.

Step 2. Clean the compartments and the siphon cover under warm running water. Step 3. Clean the outlet of the soap dispenser to remove any residue of soap powder. Step 4. Replace the drawer.

Cleaning the door glass

Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door.

Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.

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:

Step 1. Opening the filter cover.

Step 2. Pull out the corrugated hose (only available on certain models), remove the stopper and drain the water into a container.

Step 3. Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel below the filter cap to collect the small amount of water that is likely to be inside the pump.
