5 Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and frequently faced
problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.
5.1 cleaning the detergent drawer
Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every
4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent
accumulation of powder detergent in time.
Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated.
C
If more than normal amount of water and softener
mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment,
clean the siphon.
2 Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of
lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves
or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the
residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.
3 After cleaning, replace the siphon back to its seating and
push its front section downwards to make sure that the
locking tab engages.
5.2 cleaning the loading door and the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in
your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and
washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum cleaning
programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum
72 / EN
cleaning programme, use cottons-90 programme and
select Additional Water or Extra rinse auxiliary functions
as well. Run the programme without any laundry in the
machine. Before starting the programme, put max. 100
g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent
compartment(compartment nr. 2). If the anti-limescale is in
tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. 2. Dry
the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the
programme has come to an end.
C
Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing
machines.
After every washing check that no foreign substance is left
in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked,
open the holes using a toothpick.
C
Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the
drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using
cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool
or wire wool.
A
WArNINg:
Never use sponge or scrub materials.
These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.
5.3 cleaning the body and control panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-
corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a
soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.
5.4 cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the
rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake
hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters
prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the
washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get
dirty.
1 Close the taps.
2 Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access
the filters on the water intake valves. Clean them with an
appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out
by means of pliers and clean them.
3 Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake
hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly
under running water.
