Easy Care and Maintenance

Treat your machine well and it will provide

many years of trouble free service

Your washing machine is a reliable companion in life. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.

Your washing machine is

designed to provide reliable

service over many years. A few

simple steps will help to extend

its life and avoid problems. It is

advisable to turn off water

faucets when the machine is

not in use. This protects the

hoses, etc.

If the water in your area is

hard, use a water softener

(hard water often leaves white

stains around taps or drains,

especially in bath tubs. For

more accurate information

about the type of water in the

system, call your local water

utility).

Pockets must always be

emptied, removing pins,

badges, coins, or any other

hard objects.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

The washing machine exterior

should be cleaned with a rag

dipped in lukewarm water and

soap. Do not use polish of any

kind on the plastic trim. Some

polishes contain agents which

can damage plastics.

Cleaning the interior

If you live an area where

phosphate detergents are

When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.

The washing machine comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.

Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons, etc. To avoid possible damage, they

are withheld in an accessible coin trap, located at the bottom right end of the machine.

The water inlet hose

Check the rubber hoses at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace the hose immediately. When you use your washing

machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open. Superior quality Stainless Steel hoses are

also recommended.

Instructions for installation and use

banned, it may be necessary

to recondition the washer

periodically. Because a non-

phosphate detergent must be

used, body oils and detergent

may accumulate in the washer

tub. This is particularly evident

in hard water areas or in

homes where heavily soiled

garments

are

regularly

laundered. To remove this

build-up, run the washer

through a complete cycle

using hot water and 2 cups of

a non precipitating water

conditioner (water-softener).

Do not add any clothes, deter-

gent, or other laundry aids.

Once the accumulation has

been removed, your laundry

should be satisfactory if you

suggestions in this owner's

manual.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

After washing is complete the

water faucets should be turned

off to relieve water pressure on

the hoses.

Wipe the inside of the door with

a soft cloth to remove any

remaining

moisture.

Periodically, a thin coat of pa-

ste wax should be applied to

Attention: Before attempting to examine this coin trap, first ensure

that the machine has finished its program and is empty. Unplug

the machine, as with any maintenance.

To gain access, gently ease down the top of the kick plate panel at

the base of the machine with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then

ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1).

Place a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to

catch any water that might be present. Open the cover by turning

it counter-clockwise (Fig. 2). When finished cleaning, ensure that

the cover is securely tightened.

Re-fit the kick plate cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge

into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.

Clear the Coin Trap

Clear the coin trap in case of

blockage. For instructions,

please read the section

below.

Never add

too much

detergent.

Detergents already contain

deliming agents. Only if the

water is particularly hard, that

is, rich in lime content, do we

recommend the use of a

specific product at every

wash.

A periodical wash cycle with

a dose of a deliming product,

without

detergents

washing, may prove useful.

Never

use

too

much

detergent or additives

because this could cause

excessive sudsing, scaling,

and possible damage to

washing machine.

It is important to wash

the detergent dispenser

regularly.

To prevent dried washing

powder from

accumulating, place the

dispenser under running

water for a few minutes.

Use only low-sudsing deter-

gents.

Do not forget to empty all

pockets:

small objects can cause

serious damage to your

washing machine !
