washing machine
maintenance and cleaning
After each wash cycle, leave the door
open for a while, to let air circulate freely
inside the machine.
It is a good practice to periodically run
a full wash cycle using a lime-treating
product, depending on the water
hardness.
This helps to extend the life of your
washing machine.
MAINTENANCE
Before performing any cleaning or
maintenance operation, it’s advisable
to disconnect the machine from the
outlet.
A dirty or incorrectly inserted pump
prevents additives from flowing and
lets water remain inside the
compartment at the end of the wash
cycle.
Important!
1 CLEANING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
Important!
Clean the detergent dispenser whenever
you find deposits of any cleaning product.
a Fully extend the detergent
dispenser by pulling out the handle
and pushing the blue lever with
your finger.
Clean the dispenser’s
compartments. Use lukewarm
water and a brush.
b Also clean the pump in the additive
dispenser. To remove it, pick the
tab at the back and pull it out.
Once it is clean, replace it by
pressing downwards until it is firmly
inserted. Re-insert the dispenser
into the washing machine.
