7.8 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
(to be carried out by the user)
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR
CLEANING OPERATION, CHECK
THAT WALL CUT-OFF SWITCH IS
OFF AND THE HOT AND COLD
WATER TAPS ARE CLOSED. THE
DRUM MUST BE STILL AND
DRAINED AND THE TEMPERATURE
INSIDE IT MUST NOT EXCEED 40°C.
The machine requires no special mainte-
nance, thanks to its ergonomic design and to
the use of very reliable, first-quality parts.
Clean the lint filter, which is in the front
bottom part of the machine. Open the door
leading to the filter and unscrew it. Then put
it back right after having cleaned it.
Periodically clean the external panels with a
damp cloth. Never use inflammable or ab-
rasive products.
DO NOT USE WATER JETS TO WASH
THE APPLIANCE.
BEFORE TURNING THE MACHINE
ON BY THE CUT-OFF SWITCH ON
THE WALL, PUT ALL THE PANELS
YOU HAVE REMOVED BACK IN
PLACE.

8 TIPS ABOUT MAINTENANCE AND
ORDERING SPARE PARTS
8.1 LOCATING FAULTS
• • If the machine does not work, check the
following:
- the main cut-off switch on the wall is on and
the machine is getting current;
- the door is closed;
- the START push-button has been pressed.
- the hot and cold water taps are open.
If power failure is not due to any of the above
causes, call the authorised after-sales service
or our dealer (see last page of this booklet).
• The machine will spin counterclockwise:
- check whether the local electric company
has inverted the feeding phases at the entrance
of the building; if so, have the phases
corrected by our licensed technician or by an
expert electrician.
Once such steps have been either carried out,
if the fault has not disappeared, call the
licensed after sales service or our dealer (see
last page of this booklet).
8.2 SAFETY DEVICES
- Door microswitch: to cut off power to the
whole auxiliary circuit and consequently
stop the machine.
- Thermal switch (overload cutout) within
the motor. It disconnects power supply in the
event of coil overheating.
- Air-break system in the soap dispenser to
prevent wastewater from polluting the
drinkable water system in the event of a
depression.
8.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE (to be
carried out by the technical personnel)
All maintenance operations must be carried
out by the authorised after-sales service or
by qualified personnel.
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR
CLEANING OPERATION, CHECK
THAT THE WALL CUT-OFF SWITCH
IS OFF AND THE HOT AND COLD
WATER TAPS ARE CLOSED. THE
DRUM MUST BE STILL AND
DRAINED AND THE TEMPERATURE
INSIDE IT MUST NOT EXCEED 40°C.
Be very careful during maintenance. NEVER
exclude or ignore safety devices. Use only
original spare parts. If doubts should arise,
contact your sales person immediately,
explaining what the fault is and indicating
some information on the machine: model
and serial number (data reported on the
rating plate appearing at the rear of the
machine).
MONTHLY CHECKS
Clean the filters located on the outer part of
the electrically driven valves.
Check the lint filter.
Clean the soap dispenser from any powder
remains.
Clean the door gasket and the tub inlet with
a cloth.
YEARLY CHECKS
Check the wear on the belt and replace it if
necessary.
Make sure that the safety devices are working
properly (e.g. the door microswitch)
Make certain that the power connecting
screws are tight on the contactors and on the
terminal board.
Disassemble the drain pump and clean it
inside from lint.
Check that the heaters are in perfect condition
and clean them from scale.
BEFORE TURNING THE MACHINE
ON BY THE CUTOFF SWITCH ON
THE WALL, PUT ALL THE PANELS
YOU HAVE REMOVED BACK TO
THEIR PLACE.
8.4 IDENTIFYING AND ORDERING
SPARE PARTS
To identify the codes of spare parts refer to
the exploded drawings and relative list. Once
you have identified your codes, send a
standard written order to the manufacturer,
mentioning clearly the model, serial number,
feed voltage and frequency of your appliance
and, of course, including the code and
description of the spare part you need.

DISMANTLING
DISPOSING OF IT
If the washing machine is no longer to be
used, it is advisable to put it out of service
and suitably dispose of the resulting
materials, considering the indications
provided in chapter 3. For the sake of the
environment, please sort the materials in
accordance with the waste disposal
provisions in force in your country, so that
they can be properly disposed of or recycled.
All the parts composing the case can be
treated as solid urban waste, except for the
metal parts, which yet are not classed among
special waste in most European countries.
