Maintenance The correct care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your washer properly and safely. Cleaning your Washing Machine Exterior • Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as and when they occur. • Occasionally wipe the outside of the washer to keep it looking like new. Interior • Clean interior with 250ml of chlorine bleach mixed with 500ml of detergent. Run washer through a complete cycle. Repeat this process if necessary.
Maintenance Non-use or vacation care Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you are on vacation or don’t use your washer for an extended period of time, you should: • Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the washer. • Turn off the water supplier to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away. Cleaning the water inlet filter • Clean the filter when water leaks from the water inlet.
Maintenance Cleaning the detergent case • After a while detergent and fabric softeners leave a deposit in the case; • It should be cleaned from time to time with a jet of running water. If necessary it can be removed completely from the machine by pressing the catch downwards • and by pulling it out. • To facilitate cleaning, the upper part of the fabric softener compartment can be removed. • • • • Detergent can also accumulate inside the recess which should be cleaned occasionally with a brush.
Removing stains Stained, heavily-soiled, or greasy items may need to be prewashed or soaked for best results. Soaking helps remove protein-type stains like blood, milk or grass. Prewashing helps loosen soil before washing. Stain removal rules • Use warm water for soaking or prewashing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains. • Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh.

If the error mode such as IE, OE, UE were displayed on the control part, in order to solve these problem, first turn off the power of the washing machine and then turn on the power pressing Power button.
