Maintenance and cleaning
After every washing make sure that no foreign
substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure
are blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.
C
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.
A
WARNING:
Never use sponge or scrub
materials. These will damage the painted
and plastic surfaces.
7.3 Cleaning the body and control
panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy
water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as
necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the
control panel.
7.4 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.
1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses
to access the filters on the water intake
valves. Clean them with an appropriate
brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them
out by means of pliers and clean them.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of
the water intake hoses together with the
gaskets and clean thoroughly under running
water.
4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in
their places and tighten the hose nuts by
hand.
7.5 Draining remaining water and
cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents
solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric
fibers clogging the pump impeller during
discharge of washing water. Thus, the water
will be discharged without any problem and the
service life of the pump will extend.
If the machine fails to drain water, the pump
filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned
whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months.
Water must be drained off first to clean the
pump filter.
In addition, prior to transporting the machine
(e.g., when moving to another house) and in
case of freezing of the water, water may have
to be drained completely.
