each year. You should use a small quantity of
detergent at the same time. It is not necessary to
fill the machine with washing.
CLEANING HOLES UNDER THE RIDGES
If you suspect that objects, eg, nails, paperclips,
pins and so on, have fallen through the washing
drum you should check the space underneath
the ridges. Such items can corrode and cause
rust stains on your washing. Nails and other
sharp objects can tear fabrics.
Proceed as follows:
1. Use a screwdriver or similar tool.
2. Insert the screw-
driver in the midd-
le hole in the ridge
and carefully push
the screwdriver
handle to the left.
3. Grip the ridge with
your other hand
and lift it towards
you as illustrated.
4. Lift up the ridge.
5. Remove any objects.
6. Position the ridge in the fixing hole with the
F marking towards you. Ensure that the ridge
lugs fit firmly in their holes in the drum. Slide
the ridge away from you until it stops.
HARD WATER
If you live in an area that has hard water, the
washer drum may become coated with a grey-
white deposit. To get rid of the deposit, pour a
packet of citric acid, about 20 gram, in the drum
and run the Normal programme at 95°C. You
will find citric acid on the spice shelf in your
grocer's store.
