IMPORTANT!
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from
the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a
good idea to periodically use a water softening
powder in the machine. Do this separately from
any laundry washing, and according to the
softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This
will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
Maintenance Wash
With the use of low temperature washes it is
possible to get a build up of residues inside
the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be
performed on a regular basis.
To run a maintenance wash:
●
The drum should be empty of laundry.
●
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
●
Use a normal measure of detergent, must
be a powder with biological properties.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment should be removed.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out
under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the
recess, ensuring that all
washing powder residue
is removed from the
upper and lower
part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected if
●
the machine does not empty and/or spin
●
the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
●
Pull out the plug from the power socket.
●
If necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down.
●
Open the drainage area door.
●
Place a bowl to collect
the water.
●
Turn slowly the lid of
the diaphragm
towards left side and
allow that the water of
the washing machine
goes flowing slowly to
the bowl.
●
When the bowl is full, turn and close the lid of
the diaphragm.
●
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until you
have completely emptied the washing machine.
●
Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of
water when removing the cover.
●
Remove the objects such as buttons, coins and
the lint that has been accumulated in the
area of the pump impeller by rotating it.
