Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance helps extend the product's life and prevent common problems.

Detergent Dispenser Cleaning:

Pull the dispenser drawer firmly to remove it.
Clean the drawer and siphon with warm water and a brush. Wear protective gloves.
Reinsert the drawer, ensuring the siphon is in its original position.

Door and Drum Cleaning:

For models with a Drum Cleaning program, run it every two months.
Use a suitable descaling agent for washing machines.
After each wash, check for foreign objects in the drum.
If the holes in the rubber gasket are clogged, clear them with a toothpick.
Remove rust stains from the drum with stainless steel cleaner; do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.

Body and Control Panel Cleaning: Wipe the body with soapy water or a mild gel cleaner, then dry with a soft cloth. Clean the control panel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive sponges or cleaners.

Water Inlet Filters Cleaning: Filters are located at the end of the water inlet valves (at the back of the machine) and at the ends of the water inlet hoses (connected to the tap).

Close the water taps.
Remove the nuts of the water inlet hoses to access the filters on the valves. Clean them with a brush. Use pliers to remove and clean heavily soiled filters.
Remove and clean the gaskets and filters from the flat ends of the water inlet hoses.
Carefully replace gaskets and filters, then hand-tighten the hose nuts.

Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning the Pump Filter: The pump filter prevents solid objects from clogging the pump. Clean the filter every three months or when clogged.
