However, if this process takes too long without success, the spinning will be
aborted to prevent excessive vibrations.
Should this happen, please ensure that the clothes inside the machine are not
entangled or caught together and start the «Spin» program after manually
distributing the laundry.
If there is a few clothes in the machine (e.g. a single pair of jeans or a bog towel),
the machine may refuse to start tumble-drying because of an obvious imbalance.
Therefore, please add a certain quantity of smaller items to every batch, so as to
ensure an even distribution of laundry during tumble-drying.
7. MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION
– Attention! Always pull the plug from the electric socket and close the water
supply valve before cleaning, care and maintenance described below.
– Never use solvents for cleaning to avoid damage to the washing machine and
the emission of toxic or explosive gases.
– Do not spill water on the washing machine while cleaning.
– Do not use PCMX (chloroxylene) -containing detergents, ethyl alcohol, formic
acid or their equivalents for cleaning the appliance, as these substances can
damage it.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Regular and careful cleaning of the appliance will allow
extending its service life and retain its appealing exterior. If
necessary wipe the outer surface of the machine with a mild,
non-abrasive detergent. In case of a water spill, immediately
collect the water with a towel. Do not use sharp objects to
clean the machine to avoid damaging the housing and
impeding its operation.
ATTENTION
Never use aggressive chemicals, abrasive cleaning agents or solvents for
cleaning the appliance. They can damage the exterior finish.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE DRUM
Wipe the drum dry after each use to remove any residues from the tap water,
washing chemicals, dirt and fabric particles, as well as to prevent additional
moisture from staying inside the drum and causing mould growth.
Metal clothing components (buttons, zippers, studs) can leave rust stains inside
the drum – take care to remove these stains without delay. The use of aggressive
detergents or rust removers for cleaning the drum is not allowed, therefore
regular preventive care is the best solution.
Besides, the washing machine has «Drum clean» function to assist you in
hygiene maintenance.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS AND SEAL
Wipe the glass and seal after each laundry to remove
pile and stains.
Remove coins, buttons and other small objects from the
folds of the door seal after each laundry.
Water staying for a prolonged time inside the folds of
the door seal can cause an unpleasant smell.
CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER
The drain pump filter can retain scraps of fabric and small foreign objects during
laundry.
Regularly clean the filter to ensure proper operation of the washing machine.
Check the pump if the machine fails to drain water or tumble dry the laundry,
as well as if it emits an unusual noise during draining, which may be caused by
foreign objects blocking the pump.
– Depending on the program, hot water may be pumped through the drain pump.
– Never remove the pump cover during the rinsing cycle. Wait for the appliance
to complete operation in the relevant mode and start draining the water.
– Ensure the filter and the cover plate are properly seated when reinstalling
them.

3. Remove foreign objects from the filter.
4. Reinstall the filter and close the cover plate.

with long pliers.
3. Clean the water intake filter.
4. Refit the filter and reconnect the water supply tube.
5. Clean the filter every 3 month to ensure proper operation of the washing
machine.
NOTE: Clean the valve filter first, then the filter in the washing machine.
