CARE AND CLEANING
You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out
any cleaning or maintenance work.
Care and cleaning 17
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.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming
inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door
seal.
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.
Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet.
Detergent dispenser drawer
The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.
1. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pulling it firmly.
2. Remove the conditioner insert from the
middle compartment.
3. Clean all parts with water.
4. Put the conditioner insert in as far as it
will go, so that it is firmly in place.
18 Care and cleaning
5. Clean all parts of the washing machine,
especially the nozzles in the top of the
washing-in chamber, with a brush.
6. Insert the detergent dispenser drawer in
the guide rails and push it in.
Washing drum
Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap
water containing iron.
Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine or
iron or steel wool.
1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.
2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent residues.
Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4
measuring cup of detergent.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and objects
that could be trapped in the fold.
Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly 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:
1. Disconnect the appliance.
2. If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
Care and cleaning 19
3. Open the pump door.
4. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.
5. Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap
cover.
6. When no more water comes out, un-
screw the pump and remove it. Always
keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of
water when removing the pump.
7. Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.
20 Care and cleaning
8. Put the cap back on the emergency
emptying hose and place the latter back
in its seat.
9. Screw the pump fully in.
10. Close the pump door.
WARNING!
When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until
the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover, ensure it is
securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
If the appliance doesn't fill, it takes a long time to fill with water, the starting button blinks
yellow or the display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..."
for more details), check if the water inlet filters are blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Unscrew the hose from the tap.
3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff
brush.
4. Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make
sure the connection is tight.
5. Unscrew the hose from the machine.
Keep a towel nearby because some water may flow.
6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff
brush or with the piece of cloth.
7. Screw the hose back to the machine and
make sure the connection is tight.
8. Turn on the water tap.
Care and cleaning 21
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:
1. pull out the plug from the power socket;
2. close the water tap;
3. if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
4. open the pump door;
5. place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the
bowl. Remove its cap. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl
is full, put the cap back on the hose. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water
stops flowing out;
6. clean the pump if necessary as previously described;
7. replace the emergency emptying hose in its seat after having plugged it;
8. screw the pump again and close the door.
