Easy Care and Maintenance
machine
Your
washing
machine
is a reliable
companion
in life. It is just
as important
[i>r 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.
tf the water
in your
area is
bard, 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
Mways
be
emptied,
removing
pins,
badges,
coins,
or any other
hard obiects.
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
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
buiW+up,
run
the
washer
through
a complete
cycle
using hot water and 2 cups of
water softener. Do not add any
clothes,
detergent,
or other
laundry aids.
Once the accumulation
has
been removed,
your laundry
should
be satisfactory
if you
follow
the
preventive
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
the inner door of the washer;
especially to the area which
is immediately
next to the
door window. This will protect
the door finish from laundry
aid
spills
and
any
discoloration
which
may
results of these spills.
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
or
washing, may prove useful+
Never
use
too
much
detergent
or
additives
because
this coumd cause
excessive
sudsing,
scaBing,
and
possible
damage
to
components
in
your
washing
machine.
Use onmy mow+sudsing
deter+
gents.
Do not forget to empty all
pockets:
smafl objects
can cause
serious damage to your
washing machine
/
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The wasbing
machine
comes equipped
with a seff+cmeaning 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 possiMe damage, they
are witbbe_d in an accessiNe
coin trap, located at the bottom
right end of the machine.

The water inlet hose
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 al!ow 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.
Check the rubber hoses at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace the hose immediately. When you use your washinc
machine, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open. Superior quality Stainless Steel hoses are
recommended.
