Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing to remove completely eventual acid residues. • Never use detergents containing solvents, since there is a danger of creating toxic gasses which may damage the machine and result in ignition or explosion. • Upon completion of washing operation close the water faucet. •...

Pull it out from its casing completely by pressing the flap (see Fig.). • If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under the running water.
  • Page 27 • Wash it under running water using a brush, and dry it. Remove any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing. • Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing machine with a brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing chamber. • Clean frequently the water inlet hose screen under running water. • After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This will prolong its useful life. • Open the filter lid using flat screwdriver or similar tool. • Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially following heavily shaggy or old laundry. Before cleaning, drain any water from the machine via drain pipe.
  • Page 28 • Turn it anti-clockwise, pull it out and clean under running water. • Insert the filter back as shown on the picture (arrow and pointer), and tighten by turning it in clockwise direction. To ensure good sealing the gasket surface (A) must be dirt free.
  • Page 29: Failures

    Failures If the washing machine identifies failures in the operation, it reports it immediately. Sound alarm is heard and the display reads ERROR. Number identifies the type of failure. In some cases you may attempt removing certain failures yourself (see the chart below), and the machine will continue to perform the operation after pressing the START knob (F). The machine signals failures immediately after detecting them and stops the program, except for heater failure, where the machine completes the washing program without heating water (FAILURE 1). In case the machine signals faults number you have to wait for at least 2 minutes before you can open the door of the washing machine. Interferences from the ambient (for example electrical wiring) could induce signalization of different faults. In such cases: - switch the appliance off, and wait for a few seconds; - switch the appliance back on and repeat the washing program. If the fault repeats, call authorized service shop.
