The washing machine has been designed to reduce maintenance to a minimum.
However, it is important that you remember to clean it regularly.
Before cleaning, make sure that the appliance has been disconnected from the power
supply and that the water supply tap has been turned off.
CLEANING THE FILTER
ATTENTION!! Before starting the operations described below, make sure
that the washing machine is empty. Do not remove the
filter while the machine is running, or when full of water.
Place a cloth or flat plate under the filter to collect any water that may still be inside
it. Open the filter door, unscrew the filter and remove it, turning in an anticlockwise
direction (fig.21).
The filter must be cleaned periodically.
Rinse the filter under running water to eliminate all waste. Replace the filter, screw-
ing in a clockwise direction and making sure it is hermetically sealed.
Removing the detergent drawer (fig. A or B, according to the model).
CLEANING THE WASHING MACHINE
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. (fig.20)
After washing, leave the door open for a little while to allow rubber parts to dry.
Wash out the detergent compartments from time to time. To do this, extract the
detergent compartment and rinse it under running water, (fig. 20/A) then replace it.
