MAINTENANCE
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. (fig. 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.
