The outside or the machine can be cleaned with
warm water and a neutral non-abrasive household
detergent. Wipe with clean water and dry after

complete cycle without a washing load, adding a
decalcifying product.
After the wash, leave the lid open for a while to
air the tub.
The detergent dispenser
Regularly clean the dispensers to clear out any
deposits. A long handled brush such as a bottle
brush will assist you in doing this.
The drain filter
The machine has got a mecanic filter located on
the front part to collect lint and small objects
(toothpins, coins, pins, etc.) inadvertently left in
the clothes. It is essential that this filter is cleaned
regularly.
Frequency of cleaning depends on the type of
articles washed (cleaning should be more frequent
if the articles have no hem and tend to fray).
To clean the filter proceed as follows :
Open the flap door pressing on its extreme left
(fig.1).
To take out the filter turn it handle anticlockwise
and then pull towards yourself (fig.3).
Clean the filter carefully and re-install it in its
original position introducing the cover of the filter
till the end making sure it is perfectly located, then
turn filter handle clockwise.
Note : Under the filter there is a retractable gutter
which makes it easier to collect any residual
water. Pull it out before remove the filter (fig.2).
