4. MAINTENANCE AND
CLEANING
To clean the washing machine exterior, use a
damp cloth, avoiding abrasives, alcohol and/or
solvents. The washing machine does not
require any special care for ordinary cleaning:
clean drawer compartments and the filter;
some tips on how to move the machine or on
long periods of disuse are provided below.
! The washing machine comes with a
special filter able to trap large residue,
such as buttons or coins, which could
clog the drain.
! Only available on certain models: pull out
the corrugated hose, remove the stopper
and drain the water into a container.
! Before unscrewing the filter, we
recommend you place an absorbent cloth
under it to keep the floor dry.
! Turn the filter counter-clockwise to the
limit stop in the vertical position.
! Remove and clean the filter; when
finished, replace it turning it clockwise.
! Repeat the previous steps in reverse
order to reassemble all parts.
! Should the washing machine be stored in
an unheated room for a long period of
time, drain all water from tubes.
! Unplug the washing machine.
! Detach the tube from the strap and lower
it, fully draining water into a bowl.
! Secure the drain tube with the strap when
finished.
! Press button (A).
! Hold down the button and turn the
detergent dispenser outwards.
! Remove the dispenser and clean it.
! It is recommended to remove any
remamining detergent in the
compartments to avoid any build up that
could cause blockages and restrict the
water flow from the dispenser to drum.
! Pulling out and extract the trap/traps (S)
that are located in the back part of the
dispenser and clean them carefully.
! Remove any solid residue which could
block the holes in the compartments.
