Cleaning and routine maintenance

Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your
washing machine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing
machine needs very little maintenance:
– Cleaning the drawer compartments.
– Cleaning the filter.
– Cleaning the door glass.
Cleaning the drawer
Clean the compartments occasionally to remove detergents and additives.
A) To do this you just need to pull the drawer
out firmly from the machine, but without
forcing it.
B) Clean the compartments and the
syphon cap under running
water.
C) Replace the drawer.
Cleaning the filter
The washing machine is fitted with a
special filter to prevent items such as
coins, buttons, etc. blocking the
discharge hose. These may be retrieved
by:
1. Removing the kickplate by gently
pulling it from the bottom in an
outwards and upwards direction.
2. Use the kickplate to collect the
water still in the filter.
3. Turn the filter anticlockwise, remove
it and clean it.
After cleaning, return to it's original
position and lock by turning clockwise.
Replace the kickplate.
We recommend that the filter be cleaned
frequently, at least once a month.
