  • Page 16: Tips For Washing And Energy Saving

    Tips for washing and energy saving • Before washing sort out the laundry according to the type, degree of dirtiness and color fastness. • Prior selecting the washing program consult the sewn tab with information on a particular piece of laundry (see Maintenance chart on the last page). • Wash separately the new colored textile products for the first time. • Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities or add more detergent. • Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover, it will save energy.

If you use powder detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case of liquid detergent it is slid down. • Liquid detergents are intended for main wash only, without pre-wash.
  • Page 18: Cleaning And Maintenance

    Cleaning and maintenance Disconnect the washing machine from the mains before cleaning! • The casing should be cleaned with soft cloth and mild detergent. • The interior of the drum and the door gasket is cleaned by washing at 60°C without laundry and adding half quantity of detergent. • If necessary, clean the detergent dispenser. Pull it out from its casing completely by pressing the flap (see Fig.). • If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under the running water.
  • Page 19 • Wash it under running water using a brush, and dry it. Remove any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing. • Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing machine with a brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing chamber. • Clean frequently the water inlet hose screen under running water. • After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This will prolong its useful life. • Open the filter lid using flat screwdriver or similar tool. • Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially following heavily shaggy or old laundry. Before cleaning, drain any water from the machine via drain pipe.
  • Page 20 • Turn it anti-clockwise, pull it out and clean under running water. • Insert the filter back as shown on the picture (arrow and pointer), and tighten by turning it in clockwise direction. To ensure good sealing the gasket surface (A) must be dirt free.
  • Page 21: Failures

    Failures The washing machine automatically monitors the execution of particular functions during the operation, and reports any detected failures. In such cases both signal LED’s start flashing in certain sequence. Flashing sequence changes in accordance with the nature of the detected failure. In some cases you may attempt removing certain failures yourself, so count the number of flashes, repeating after certain pauses. The machine signals failures immediately after detecting them and stops the program, except for heater failure, where the machine completes the washing program without heating water. Failures: In certain cases you may remove the failure yourself: 2 - two flashes: door is not correctly closed; 3 - three flashes: inappropriate water intake; 7 - seven flashes: inappropriate water outlet. In all other instances mark the number of flashes indicating the failure, switch off the machine and call nearest authorized service center (LED’s continue flashing until you switch the machine off). Interferences from the ambient (for example electrical wiring) could induce signalization of different faults. In such cases: - switch the appliance off, and wait for a few seconds; - switch the appliance back on and repeat the washing program. If the fault repeats, call authorized service shop. Warranty shall not apply in case of failures due to interferences from the environment (lightning stroke, power supply circuit faults, natural disasters).
