DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzene); do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. Only use detergents and/or additives that are specifically produced for domestic washing machines. Observe the recommendations on the care labels of your laundry. Please note: Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency.
CLEANING THE FILTER/ DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER The washing machine is provided with a self-cleaning pump. The filter keeps objects like buttons, coins, safetypins etc. which have been left in the laundry. We recommend to check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year. Especially: • if the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. • if the “Pump” indication lights up. IMPORTANT: make sure the water has cooled before draining the appliance.
Lid seal • Check the condition of the lid seal periodically and clean it from time to time with a damp cloth. Water inlet hose(s) • Check the hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. Replace if necessary. Filter • Check and clean the filter regularly, at least 3 or 4 times a year (see “Cleaning the Filter/ Draining Residual Water”). Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Your washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at an early stage and allow you to react appropriately. These faults are frequently so minor that they can be removed within a few minutes. Problem Causes - Solutions - Tips Appliance does not start, no indicator lamps are on • Plug is not properly inserted in socket. • Socket or fuse does not function correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it).
