5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Warning
Before cleaning or maintaining, unplug the appliance and close the tap.
-
Proper maintenance on the washing machine can extend its working life. The surface can
be cleaned with diluted non-abrasive neutral detergents when necessary. If there is any water
overflow, use a cloth to wipe it off immediately.
-
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean the device.
-
Do not use pressurised water to clean the equipment.
Cleaning the drum
-
The rusts left inside the drum by the metal articles shall be removed immediately with
chlorine-free detergents.
-
Do not use steel wool.
Note
Do not put laundry in the washing machine during the drum cleaning.
-
Cleaning the door seals and glass
-
Wipe the glass and seal after each wash to remove lint and stains. If lint builds up it can
cause leaks.
-
Remove any coins, buttons, and other objects from the seal after each wash.
Equipment decalcification
-
As long as you use the correct amounts of detergent with the wash loads, descaling is not
necessary. If it is necessary to descale the drum of the appliance, follow the instructions of the
manufacturer of the descaling product.
-
Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to remove white stains on the washing
machine drum caused by limescale or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust caused by
metal objects left in the drum.
NOTE: descaling agents contain acids which can attack parts of the appliance and discolour
the laundry.
Checking the water supply hose
Check the water supply hose at least once a year. If there are cracks, it should be replaced
immediately, during the wash cycle, the water pressure is very strong, and a cracked water
supply hose could easily open.
