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 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. The procedure for
removing foreign objects from the filter
are as follows:
1. Remove the kickplate by gently
pulling it from the bottom in an
outwards and upwards direction.
2. Use the kickplate to collect any
remaining water still in the filter.
3. Turn the filter anticlockwise until it
stops, remove it and clean it.
After cleaning the filter, reassemble
following the above instructions in
reverse order. Replace the kickplate.
We recommend that the filter be
cleaned frequently, at least once a
month.
