clean the siphon.

sure that the locking tab engages.
5.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause
unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your
machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select
Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Run the programme without any laundry in
the machine. Before starting the programme, put max. 100 g of powder detergents into the main wash
detergent compartment(compartment nr. 2). If the detergent is in tablet form, put only one tablet into
compartment nr. 2. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has
come to an end.

Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using
cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.

dry with a soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.
5.4 Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of
each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances
and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.
