How to wash correctly How to wash correctly The headings numbered (1,2,3,...) show the operating sequense and can be used as a brief guide. Before washing 1 Prepare the wash load Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should be washed separately several times before being included in a mixed load. Delicate textiles should be washed separately in a delicates programme. Any loose wiring in bras etc., should be removed or sewn in.
How to wash correctly 3 Load the drum. Unfold washing and load loosely in the drum. To achieve best results it is advisable to make up mixed loads consisting of both large and small items. This improves the washing effect and helps distribute the load evenly to keep the machine stable and reduce the noise level during spinning. Overloading reduces the wash result and causes more creasing. Maximum load weights are noted below: To start a programme 1 Press the I-ON/0-OFF button.
How to wash correctly After washing 1 Press the “Door” button. 2 Remove the washing. Only remove washing from the machine once the drum has stopped turning, otherwise you may seriously injure yourself.

Cleaning and care Cleaning and care Cleaning the washing machine Clean the casing with a mild non-abrasive detergent or soap and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Clean the facia panel with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. The drum can be cleaned using a suitable proprietary stainless steel cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners, or glass or all purpose cleaners. These might cause damage to the plastic surfaces because of the chemicals they contain.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the fluff filter and pump Check the fluff filter initially after 3 - 4 washes to ascertain how often it is likely to require cleaning. With normal cleaning approx. 2 litres of water run out. If the drain outlet is clogged, more water will be retained in the machine (up to 25 litres). Caution: if laundry has been washed at a high temperature, water draining out of the machine will still be hot! Open the flap Place a dish under the drain fixture.
Cleaning and care Once the flow of water ceases, remove the fluff filter completely and clean it. Remove any foreign bodies (e.g. buttons, coins, etc.) and fluff. Turn the impeller by hand to check that it is free to rotate. Any foreign objects causing an obstruction should be removed. Clean the inside of the fluff filter housing. Remove any deposits of lime scale and detergent or foreign bodies from the thread of the filter housing and filter unit (as these objects can cause a leakage of water).
Cleaning and care Cleaning the filter in the water inlet The washing machine has two filters to protect the water inlet valves. First turn off the stopcock. Unscrew the threaded union connecting the free end of the inlet hose to the stopcock. The accessible filter in the union in the open end of the inlet hose should be cleaned about every six months, or after an interruption to the external water supply. Remove the rubber seal from the recess.
