CLEANING THE WASHING MACHINE

The washing machine has been specifically designed to reduce maintenance to a minimum. Nevertheless, it is important that it is cleaned regularly.

Before cleaning, make sure that the appliance has been disconnected from the power supply and that the water supply valve has been closed.

The external structure and the parts of the washing machine in plastic must be cleaned with a soft damp cloth only.

WARNING!! Never use chemicals, abrasive products, alcohol, soap, petrol or other solvents to clean the appliance as these may cause damage. (f g. 21)

After washing, leave the door open for a short time to allow rubber parts to dry.

Periodically wash out the detergent compartments. To do this, remove the detergent compartment and rinse it under running water (fig. 22). Then replace it.
