MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE WASHING MACHINE

The washing machine has been designed to reduce maintenance to a minimum. It
is however important to remember to clean it regularly.
Before cleaning, make sure the appliance is disconnected from the electrical mains
and the water supply is closed.
The outer structure and the plastic parts must be cleaned only with a moist cloth.
ATTENTION!! Never use chemical agents, abrasive products,
alcohol, soap, petrol or other solvents to clean the machine since
they could damage it.
After a wash, leave the top open for awhile in order to dry the rubber parts. Wash
the detergent chambers periodically. To do this, take out the detergent compartment
and rinse it under running water (fi g. 22). Then put it back in.
To take the detergent compartment out, press "PUSH" with your right hand and
with the other hand pull the drawer out pulling it towards you (fi g. 22).
ATTENTION!! The detergent compartment must always be in-
serted in its housing for proper machine operation.
If an object falls by accident in between the drum and the basin, it can be recovered
by means of an extractable plug on the drum:
1. Disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains.
2. Take the laundry out of the drum.
3. Close the drum doors and rotate it on half turn.
4. Using a tool, press the metal edge while sliding the plug from left to right.
5. The plastic plug will fall into the drum.
6. Open the drum: recover the objects through the holes.
7. Take the plastic plug out of the drum and put it back: Position the plastic plug
being careful that the metal tab is on the right.
8. Then slide the plug from right to left until it fi ts into place (it must click). (fi g. 24)
9. Close the drum doors, rotate it a half turn and check the positioning of the plug
at all its fi xing points.
CLEANING THE FILTER
ATTENTION!! Make sure the washing machine is empty before
starting the operations described below. Do not remove the fi lter
while the machine is running or when it is full of water.
Place a recipient underneath the fi lter to gather water remaining inside. Open the
fi lter door. Unscrew it anti-clockwise and remove it.
A tool might be needed to open the door. (fi g. 25).
Rinse the fi lter under running water and remove any residue.
Put the fi lter back inversely repeating all the operations.
