RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT WRONG
Turning off the water
tap after each wash
limits the use of the
washing machine's
hydraulic system and
eliminate leakage
risks when no-one is
at home.
Try to only leave the
appliance in use
unattended if the place
where it is located is
equipped with a floor
drain.
Always leave all
appliance doors ajar.
This will avoid the
formation of bad
odours.
Clean the appliance's
exteriors delicately.
To clean the exteriors
and the rubber parts of
the appliance, always
use a cloth dipped in
lukewarm soapy water.
Leave the washing machine
plugged in while cleaning.
Even during maintenance,
the appliance should always
be unplugged.
Use solvents and aggres-
sive abrasives.
Never use solvents or
abrasives to clean the
external and rubber parts
of the washing machine.
Neglect the detergent
dispenser.
It is removable and can
easily be cleaned by leaving
it under running water.
Go on holiday without
thinking about it.
Before leaving, always
make sure that the washing
machine is unplugged and
that the water tap is turned
off.
