Cleaning / Maintenance / Frost Protection

L

Before you begin any maintenance work,

unplug the machine from the mains or

switch it off at the fuse-box. Turn the tap

off.

Cleaning your machine

! Do not use solvents, as these can damage

machine components, produce noxious va

pours and they also constitute an explosion

hazard.

! Do not spray the machine with a jet of water.

Housing and fascia panel should only be clea

ned with detergent solution or with a standard,

solvent-free, non-scouring cleaning agent.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

1. Pull the detergent drawer all the way out of

the machine (tug slightly to overcome the

spring catch).

2. Clean all parts under running water.

3. Replace the detergent drawer in the ma

chine.

Descaling the machine

If you use the right amount of detergent, it will

not normally be necessary to descale the ma

chine.

! Descaling agents contain acids which can

corrode machine components and cause

discoloration of laundry.

However, if you do want to descale your

washing machine, follow the manufacturer's

directions.

Cleaning the drum

Any rust caused by metal objects left in the

machine must be removed using a chlorine-

free cleaning agent (check the description of

contents on the pack). Do not use steel wool!

Water inlet hose

To avoid water damage, arrange for the hose to

be checked by a specialist every 5 years.

Cleaning the pump

Fig.(D,(D,(g)

The pump must be cleaned:

• if the pump has been blocked by some for

eign object, such as a button or paper clip,

and water cannot be pumped out.

• after washing very fluffy items.

Before cleaning the pump, water must be

drained from the machine. If the pump has

been blocked, up to 20 litres of water can run

out - so keep a bucket handy.

Cleaning procedure:

1. Remove the base panel from the front of

the machine,

! Scalding hazard. Allow hot water to cool

down.

2. Carefully unscrew the pump cover - do not

remove it completely - and let the water

drain out into a shallow container (let the

remainder drip onto a floor cloth),

3. Remove the pump cover.

4. Remove any foreign objects and fibrous

deposits. Clean the inside of the pump. En

sure that the vanes on the pump move

freely.

5. Screw the pump cover back on.

6. Replace and close the base panel.

7. Pour approx. 2 litres of water into the deter

gent drawer and start the Pumping pro

gramme (P). This prevents detergent from

passing unused straight out into the drains

the next time that the washing machine is

used.
