Cleaning And Routine Maintenance; Cleaning The Filter - Hoover AI 1040 User Instruction

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 compartments
Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the
compartments for bleaching detergents and additives
occasionally.
A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but
without forcing them.
B) Clean everything in the compartment under running water.
C) Put everything back in its proper place.
Cleaning the filter
The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for
handling large deposits which could block the discharge
hose (coins, buttons etc.) and which can, therefore, be
easily retrieved.
The cleaning operation is as follows:
1. Removing the kickplate by gently pulling it from the
bottom in an outwards and upward direction.
2. Use the Kickplate to gather the water still in the filter.
3. Turn the filter anticlockwise until it stops, remove it
and clean it.
After cleaning it, reassemble it following the previous
instructions in reverse order.
4. Replace the plinth.

Transporting storing the appliance
for long periods when appliance
is not in use
If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for
long periods in unheated places, all remaining water
must be completely removed from all hoses.
Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and
point it downwards into a basin until all the water has
emptied out.
When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order.
