Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the product's longevity and efficient operation.
- Detergent Drawer Cleaning: The detergent drawer should be pulled out and cleaned regularly to remove powder residue buildup. The siphon in the softener compartment also needs cleaning.
- Loading Door and Drum Cleaning: The loading door and drum should be cleaned regularly. The manual recommends using the "Drum Clean" program every 2 months for this purpose, using an anti-limescale suitable for washing machines.
- Body and Control Panel Cleaning: Wipe with soapy water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive detergents.
- Water Intake Filters Cleaning: Filters at the end of the water intake hose and where it connects to the tap should be cleaned to prevent foreign substances from entering the machine.
- Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning Pump Filter: The pump filter prevents solid items from clogging the pump impeller. It should be cleaned every 3 months or when clogged. The manual provides detailed steps for draining water and cleaning the filter, including instructions for models with an emergency draining hose. This is also recommended before transporting the machine or in case of freezing.
The manual emphasizes safety instructions, including proper electrical connection (grounded outlet, 13A fuse), avoiding carpeted floors, and keeping children away from the hot loading door during operation. It also provides tips for energy saving, such as operating at full capacity, using appropriate detergent dosages, and washing at lower temperatures for lightly soiled laundry.
