6.2 Cleaning the loading door and the
drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may
accumulate in your machine in time and may
cause unpleasant odours and a deterioration
in washing quality. To avoid this, use the
Drum Cleaning programme. If your
machine is not featured with the Drum
Cleaning programme, use the Cottons-90
programme and select Additional Water or
the Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well.
Run the Drum cleaning programme before
starting the programme, put max. 100 g of
powder anti-limescale into the main wash
detergent compartment (compartment no.
“2”). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put
only one tablet into compartment no. “2”. Dry
the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of
cloth after the programme has come to an
end.
After every wash make sure that no foreign
substances are left in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow (shown in the
figure) are blocked, carefully open the holes
using a toothpick.
6.3 Cleaning the body and control panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy
water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents
as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the
control panel.
6.4 Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water
intake valve at the rear of the machine and
also at the end of each water intake hose
where they are connected to the tap. These
filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in
the water from entering the washing
machine. Filters should be cleaned regularly
as they do get dirty.
1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake
hoses to access the filters on the water
intake valves. Clean them with an
appropriate brush. If the filters are very dirty,
remove them with the aid of a pair of pliers
and then clean them.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the
water intake hoses together with the gaskets
and clean thoroughly under running water.
4. Correctly replace the gaskets and filters
carefully and tighten the hose nuts by hand.
6.5 Draining remaining water and
cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents
solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric
fibre's clogging the pump impeller during the
discharge of washing water. Thus, the water
will be discharged without any problems and
the service life of the pump will extend.
Repeat the Drum Cleaning process every 2
months.
Use an anti-limescale suitable for the
washing machines.
Foreign metal substances will cause rust
stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the
drum surface by using cleaning agents
suitable for stainless steel. Never use steel
wool or wire wool.
Warning: Never use sponge or scrub
materials. These will damage the painted
and plastic surfaces.
