Resumen del manual
This helps to prevent mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance. Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to preserve the door seal. Maintenance wash With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis. To run a maintenance wash: • The drum should be empty of laundry. • Select the hottest cotton wash programme. • Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties. External cleaning Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly. Do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the cabinet. Detergent dispenser drawer The detergent dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Care and cleaning 23 1. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. 2. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. 3. Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. 4. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum. Washing drum Rust deposits in the drum may occur due to rusting foreign bodies in the washing or tap water containing iron. Do not clean the drum with acidic descaling agents, scouring agents containing chlorine or iron or steel wool. 1. Remove any rust deposits on the drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel. 2. Run a washing cycle without any washing to clean off any cleaning agent residues. Programme: Short Cotton Programme at maximum temperature and add approx. 1/4 measuring cup of detergent. 24 24 Care and cleaning Door seal Check from time to time the door seal and objects that could be trapped in the fold. Drain pump The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if: • the appliance does not empty and/or spin; • the appliance makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump; • a problem with water draining is detected (see chapter “What to do if...” for more details). WARNING! Before unscrewing the pump cover, switch the appliance off and remove the mains plug from the socket. Proceed as follows: 1. Unplug the appliance. 2. If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled down. 3. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage. 4. Release the emergency emptying hose (B), place it in the container and remove its cap cover. AB Care and cleaning 25 5. When no more water comes out, unscrew the pump cover (A) by turning it anti- clockwise and remove the filter. Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water spillages when removing the cover. Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any traces of fluff. 6. Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the filter seat and from the pump impeller. Check carefully whether the pump impeller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it doesn’t rotate, please contact your Service Centre. 7. Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose and place the latter back in its seat. 8. Replace the filter into the pump by inserting it correctly into the special guides. Screw the pump cover firmly by turning it clockwise. WARNING! When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When refitting the pump cover, ensure it is securely re-tightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it. Cleaning the water inlet filters If the appliance doesn't fill, it takes a long time to fill with water, the starting button blinks yellow or the display (if available) shows the relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..." for more details), check if the water inlet filters are blocked . To clean the water inlet filters: 1. Turn off the water tap. 2. Unscrew the hose from the tap. 3. Clean the filter in the hose with a stiff brush. 4. Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make sure the connection is tight. 5. Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep a towel nearby because some water may flow. 6. Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff brush or with the piece of cloth. 7. Screw the hose back to the machine and make sure the connection is tight. 8. Turn on the water tap. Emergency emptying out If the water is not discharged, proceed as follows to empty out the appliance: 1. pull out the plug from the power socket; 2. close the water tap; 3. if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down; 4. place a bowl on the floor and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl.
