6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important – Before cleaning or servicing the machine, remove the plug from the socket.
6.1 EXTERNAL CLEANING
• Regular and constant cleaning will keep your appliance looking like new.
• Clean the unit with specific products for steel and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• Clean parts in plastic with a damp cloth.
• Do not scratch with sharp objects and do not use solvents or abrasive products as these will damage the
surface.
• For reasons of safety, never spray water onto the appliance.
6.2 CLEANING THE DRUM
• Remove any rust stains from the drum with a special cleaner for stainless steel or, for particularly
stubborn stains, with extra fine abrasive paper.
• To remove scale from the washing machine, only use branded scale removers with anti-corrosion agents
for washing machines.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommended quantities to the letter.
• After removing scale or rust from the drum, perform a few rinse cycles to eliminate acid residues
as these may damage the machine. Never use detergents containing solvents. These may form
vapours that may catch fire and explode.
6.3 CLEANING THE DOOR GASKET
Periodically check that no clips, buttons, nails or needles have got caught in the folds of the door gasket.
6.4 CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP
Only clean the drain pump if it is obstructed by buttons, hairpins and the like and the water cannot drain.
In this case, proceed as follows.
1. Remove the plug from the socket to disconnect the machine from the electrical power supply.
2. Pull out the base plate. To do this, put your hands
underneath and lever it out.
