4. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
To clean the washing machine exterior, use
a damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol
and/or solvents. To maintain a good wash
performance we recommend that the soap
drawer and pump filters are regularly
cleaned. A monthly service wash, using a
proprietary cleaner is also recommended.
Drawer cleaning
l
We recommend you clean the drawer to
avoid
accumulating
additive residue.
l
To do this, extract the drawer using slight
force, clean it with running water and
reinsert it in its housing.
l
Ensure the siphon cap is correctly
refitted.
Filter cleaning
l
The washing machine comes with a
special filter able to trap large residue,
such as buttons or coins, which could
clog the drain.
l
Only available on certain models: pull out
the corrugated hose, remove the stopper
and drain the water into a container.
l
Ensure all the water has been emptied
from the drum.
l
Before
unscrewing
recommend you place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry. A small
amount of water will come out of the filter
as you remove it - this is normal.
l
Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop.

Remove and clean the filter; when
finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
The filter handle will be locked when it is
not possible to turn any further and the
handle is horizontal. Smearing a small
amount of liquid soap on the filter seal will
help refitting.
l
Repeat the previous steps in reverse
order to reassemble all parts.

an unheated room for a long period of

Detach the tube from the drainage
system and clip on the rear of the
machine and lower it, fully draining water
into a bowl.

Secure the drain tube with the drainage
system and clip on the rear of the
