Regular checks

A few simple and regular checks can save
you from unpleasant surprises. Check regu-
larly whether
– the fittings of the water inlet hose are sitting
securely and are sealed when the valve is
open;
– the outlet hose is sitting securely and tight-
ly on the edge of the bath or on the siphon;
– the outlet hose is sitting tightly in the retain-
ing clip at the point where it comes out of
the casing;
– the inlet and outlet hoses are brittle,
cracked or creased;
– the lint trap is closed tightly;
Care and maintenance
– the rubber sleeve of the door is free from
foreign objects such as button, paper clips,
etc.;
– the drum is free from foreign objects;
– the drum shows signs of rust.

Cleaning the door

1. Pull back the folds of the rubber sleeve
carefully and remove all objects from be-
hind it.
2. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the inside
and outside of the door and rubber seal,
and then wipe them both dry.

Cleaning the drum

• If you have used starch or fabric sizing,
wipe out the drum with a moist cloth.
• Rusty metal parts in the washing (e.g. pa-
per clips, etc.) can cause rust stains in the
drum. Use a commercially available rust
remover to remove such rust spots. Never
use harsh cleaning products, such as a
scouring pad, etc.
