Product Cleaning & Maintenance

Before cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washingmachine.

Checking the Water Supply Hose

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it with a new hose available through ourAfter-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the  hose type:

• If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the color intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leakand should be replaced.
• For water stop hoses: check the small safety valve inspectionwindow (see arrow). If it is red, the water stop function was triggered, and the hose must be replaced by a new one. For unscrewing this hose, press the release button (if available) while unscrewing the hose.

Cleaning the Mesh Filters in the Water Supply Hose

1. Close water tap and unscrew the inlet hose.
2. Clean the mesh filter at the hose’s end carefully with a fine brush.

2. Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Cleaning the Water Filter / Draining Residual Water

Switch off and unplug the washing machine before cleaning the water filter or draining residual water. If you used a hot washprogram, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly every three months to
prevent it from clogging and prevent the water from draining correctly. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates thatthe water filter may be clogged.

1. Remove the kick panel: Using a screwdriver, do that which is shown in the following figure.

2. Container for the drained water: Place a low and wide containerunder the water filter to collect the residual water.

3. Drain the water: Slowly turn the filter counter-clockwise until all the water has come out. Allow the water to flow out withoutremoving the filter. Once the container is full, close the water filter by turning it clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat the
   procedure until all the water has been drained.

4. Remove filter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove thewater filter by turning it out anticlockwise.

5. Clean the water filter: remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water.

6. Insert the water filter and reinstall the plinth: Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be invertical position. To test water tightness of the water filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser. Then reinstall the plinth.
