Regular checks

securely and are sealed when the valve
is open;
– the outlet hose is sitting securely and
tightly on the edge of the bath or on the
siphon;
– the outlet hose is sitting tightly in the re-
taining clip at the point where it comes
out of the casing;
– the inlet and outlet hoses are brittle,
cracked or creased;
– the lint trap is closed tightly;
– the rubber sleeve of the loading door is
free of foreign objects such as buttons,
paper clips, etc.;
– the drum is free from foreign objects;
– the drum shows signs of rust.
Regular cleaning
Washing machine-cleaning agents for
maintaining your appliance can be found in
well-stocked supermarkets and drugstores.
Cleaning the appliance using these products
takes place when the washing machine is
empty and is very intensive.
You should clean the appliance in this way
every 30 wash cycles to prevent limescale
deposits and to maintain your appliance.
When doing so, please note the manufactur-
er instructions on the packaging.
Limescale deposits can be avoided us-
ing the right detergent dosage.
Cleaning the loading door
(20)
1. Pull back the folds of the rubber
sleeve (20) carefully and remove all ob-
jects from behind it.
2. Wipe the loading door (14) and the rubber
sleeve (20) with a soft, damp cloth on the
outside and inside, and then wipe them
both dry.
