Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the washing machine. The manual outlines several maintenance procedures:

Cleaning After Every Wash:
- What to Clean: Remove items from the washing machine as soon as the cycle is complete to prevent wrinkles and odours. Wipe the drum and door seal to remove any moisture. Leave the door slightly open to dry the drum. Wipe the appliance with a dry cloth.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe off any spills immediately. Wipe with a damp cloth and then again with a dry cloth, ensuring no moisture in cabinet joints or crevices. Do not press on the surface or display with sharp objects.
- Door: Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside, then dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Appliance Periodically:
- Tub Clean: This programme helps clean the inside of the appliance by soaking, washing, rinsing, and spinning. It is recommended to run this once a month or more often if needed to reduce build-up of detergent and softener residue.
- Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter: Turn off the power and water tap, then unscrew the water inlet hose. Remove the water inlet filter with small pliers and clean the filter using a medium bristle toothbrush.
- Cleaning the Drain Pump Filter and Performing an Emergency Water Evacuation: Allow water to cool before cleaning. Open the door in an emergency or to perform an emergency water evacuation. Unplug the appliance. Open the cover cap and pull out the drain tube. Remove the drain plug from the drain tube and drain the water. After cleaning, reinsert the plug and close the cover cap. Unscrew the drain pump filter slowly to drain remaining water and remove any debris or objects. Reinsert the plug back into the drain tube and place the tube into its holder. Close the cover cap.
- Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer: Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pulling the drawer straight out until it stops, then gently pull the drawer outward while pressing the disengage button. Rinse the drawer and its components with warm water to remove build-up from detergent and softener. Use only water to clean the dispenser drawer. Clean the drawer opening, remove residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. Wipe any moisture with a dry towel or cloth after cleaning. Reassemble the components of the drawer.

The manual also includes troubleshooting information for common error messages and operational issues, such as inlet error, unbalance error, water outlet error, door error, control error, motor locked error, overflow error, pressure sensor error, vibration sensor error, frozen failure, water leakage, and power failure. It also addresses noises, water leakage, and appliance operational problems.

For environmental care, the manual advises on the proper disposal of the old appliance, indicating that it should not be disposed of with general household waste but through designated collection points for electrical and electronic products (WEEE). This helps prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.
