The data refers to the highest temperature provided for each programme. For cotton, it refers to a wash load of 4 kg. 19 ENGLISH Maintenance 1. Door seal Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold. 2. Bodywork Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork. 3. Detergent dispenser drawer After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer. Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner. To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartments can be removed. Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning. 4. Drain filter The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean. Open the filter door. Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. Unscrew the filter and remove it. Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in. 20 5. Water inlet filter If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked. Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap. Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap. 6. Emergency emptying out If the water is not discharged (outlet pump is blocked, filter or drain pipe are clogged), proceed as follows to empty out the machine: • pull out the plug from the power socket; • close the water tap; • if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; • place a bowl on the floor; • put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water come out. Should it not be possible to have access to the drain hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out slowly. At the end screw the filter again. The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. • Turn off the water tap. • Unscrew the inlet hose. • Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme. To do this: • Switch the machine on • Select a washing programme • Press the RESET button three times • Press START/PAUSE button • Disconnect the appliance. • Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose. • When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C. 21 ENGLISH Something not working?
