7. CARE AND CLEANING
Do not do any cleaning operation until you have unplugged
the washing machine.
7.1. Descaling the washing machine
Normally there is no need to descale the washing machine
if the detergent was correctly proportioned.
If descaling is necessary, use a special non-corrosive pro-
duct specially designed for washing machines that you can
find in the shops. Respect the proportion and frequency of
descaling shown on your packaging.
7.2. The surface
Clean the surface of your washing machine using lukewarm
water and a mild detergent. Never use alcohol, solvents or
similar products.
7.3. The detergents dispenser
From time to time, you must clean the detergents dispenser
in order to eliminate the possible wastes of the detergents
and then to avoid an operating problem.
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove for a light
cleaning.
Disassembly:
Press the clips on each side of the
detergents dispenser and pull it
upwards.
You can thus clean it using running
water and a brush or a twisted cloth.
Check that the siphons at the back
of the detergents dispenser are not
blocked.
Reassembly :
Put the detergents dispenser in the
notches until they lock.
7.4. The drain filter
Clean the filter at the bottom of the washing machine regu-
*
larly. The "filter"
light comes on if the filter is blo-cked. In
this case clean it immediately. If you wash washing that is
very fluffy, clean it after each wash.
•
Open the door, with a screwdriver for example:
•
Drain residual water:
•
Remove the filter:
After cleaning the filter, you are required to closed the door.
In fact, for reasons of safety, the door must be closed when
the appliance is working.

Put a receptacle under the drain.

direction until it is vertical to release
residual water.
Unscrew the cap all the way and
take it off. Clean it tho-roughly with
running water. Put the assembly
back and screw it in the clockwise
direction.
