Cleaning your washing
machine before
It is advisable to clean the inside of your
washing machine before using it for the
first time, in order to get rid of any lubri-
cants or water left over from testing. To do
this you should:
— Put a measure of detergent into the
COMPARTMENT of the DETER-
GENT DISPENSER.
— Select WASH PROGRAMME «2» (90º
without prewash) with the programme
selector control knob.
— Start the washing machine.
— Wait until the PROGRAMME finishes.
Cleaning and special care
(Fig. 6)
Clean the accessible filter whenever the
drainage pump is blocked by foreign
bodies.
a) Loosen the base by gently pulling on
the sides and turning downwards.
Then undo the fasteners.
If there is no side access, introduce a
small screwdriver in the three slots on
the upper part of the base, in order to
lever it and loosen the hooks.
b) Use a plate or other container under
the filter to collect the water that will
be released when it is loosened.
c) Turn the filter a quarter- or halfway
sideways towards the left. Water will
start to come out.
d) When you are finished taking the water
out of the washing machine, turn the fil-
ter around several times until you can
take it out fully.
e) Remove any objects or fluff that may be
in the filter.
f ) Replace the filter and the base in their
places.
Important: In order to avoid burns, this
operation should not be carried out when
the wash water temperature is over 30ºC.
