CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Appliance exterior and control panel
•
Can be washed down with a soft, damp cloth.
•
A little neutral detergent (non abrasive) can also
be used.
•
Dry with a soft cloth.
Appliance interior
•
After each washing, leave the door open for some
time to allow the inside of the appliance to dry.
•
If you never or seldom wash your laundry at
95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C
programme without laundry, adding a small
amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the
appliance clean.
Door seal
•
Dry the door seal after each washing with an
absorbent cotton cloth; make sure that the door
seal is completely dry before closing the door of
the empty washing machine.
•
Check the condition of the door seal periodically.
Filter
•
Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two
or three times a year (see “Draining Residual
Water/ Cleaning The Filter”).
Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning
the appliance.
Detergent dispenser
Clean the dispenser drawer and the dispenser compartment
regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent
detergent build-up.
To clean the dispenser drawer:
1.
Press the release lever in the main wash chamber downward and
remove the dispenser drawer from the dispenser compartment
(see downward arrow).
2.
Remove the cover grid from the softener chamber. Remove the
separator from the main wash chamber by pulling it upward (see
upward arrows).
3.
Wash all the parts under running water.
4.
Clean the dispenser compartment with a damp cloth.
5.
Refit the separator and the cover grid in the dispenser drawer
and push the drawer back into the dispenser compartment.
Water supply hose(s) (picture A, B or C - depending on
model)
Check regularly for brittleness and cracks. If a supply hose shows a
damage, replace it by a new hose of the same type, available through
our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer.
If your supply hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. “
C
”),
periodically check the colour. If the hose colour intensifies locally,
this is an indication that the hose may have a leak and should be
replaced. Contact our After-Sales Service team or specialist dealer
to obtain a replacement hose.
Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose(s)
1.
Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap.
2.
Clean the internal mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back
onto the tap.
3.
Now unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine.
4.
Pull off the mesh filter from the washing machine connection
with universal pliers and clean it.
5.
Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again.
6.
Turn on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely
water-tight.
