6. CARE AND CLEANING
Do not do any cleaning operation until you have
unplugged the washing machine.
6.1. Descaling the washing machine
Normally there is no need to descale the washing ma- chine if the detergent was correctly proportioned.

6.2. The surface
Clean the surface of your washing machine using lu- kewarm water and a mild detergent. Never use alco- hol, solvents or similar products.
6.3. The detergents dispenser
From time to time, you must clean the detergents dis- penser in order to eliminate the possible wastes of the detergents and then to avoid an operating problem.
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a li- ght cleaning.
6.4. The drain filter
Clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine regularly. The "filter"* light comes on if the filter is blo- cked. In this case clean it immediately. If you wash washing that is very fluffy, clean it after each wash.
•Open the door, with a screwdriver for example:
•Drain residual water:
Put a receptacle under the drain. Turn the cap in the anti- clockwise direction until it is vertical to release residual wa- ter.
Disassembly:
Press the clips on each side of the detergents dispenser and pull it upwards.
You can thus clean it using running water and a brush or a twisted cloth. Check that the siphons at the back of the de- tergents dispenser are not blocked.
Reassembly :
Put the detergents dispenser in the notches until they lock.
•Remove the filter:
Unscrew the cap all the way and take it off. Clean it tho- roughly with running water. Put the assembly back and screw it in the clockwise direc- tion.
After cleaning the filter, you are required to closed the door. In fact, for reasons of safety, the door must be closed when the appliance is working.
