Your supplier or local council will be able to give you details of current means of disposal. Valuable materials can be salvaged from an old appliance via scrap reprocessing. Note: pull out the mains plug from any old appliance. Cut the power cable and dispose of it, together with the plug. When disposing of an old washing machine, please ensure that the door lock is rendered inoperable to prevent children shutting themselves in the appliance.

B! [. . . ] The washing machine needs very little maintenance: - Cleaning the drawer compartments. - Cleaning the door glass. Regularly clean the door glass with a damp cloth. A build up of soiling and residues from the water may result in water leaking from the door. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface. Cleaning the drawer compartments Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the compartments for bleaching detergents and additives occasionally. A) To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without forcing them. C) Put everything back in its proper place. Transporting the appliance or long periods when appliance is not in use If the appliance is being transported or is out of use for long periods in unheated places, all remaining water must be completely removed from the hoses. Ensure mains power is off, then unclip the hose and point it downwards into a basin until all the water has emptied out. When finished, repeat the operation in the reverse order. Cleaning the filter The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for handling large deposits which could block the discharge hose (coins, buttons etc. ) and which can, therefore, be easily retrieved. The cleaning operation is as follows: 1) Ease off the plinth cover as shown in picture. 3) After cleaning, replace the filter and lock by tightening the filter screw. Then follow all procedures described above in reverse order. Attention: if the filter needs cleaning while there is washing still in the drum, follow the instructions on the following page to empty the water. This will prevent excessive loss of water via the filter. 18 19 Investigating malfunctions What might be the cause of. . . Foreign bodies in filter House drain is blocked Leaking gasket between tap and water inlet hose. House drain is blocked Soap drawer blocked with soap residues REMEDY Plug it in. Examine filter (see pages 18-19) Clean drain Replace gasket and tighten hose and tap well. Clean drain Clean soap drawer Note: The use of environmentally-friendly, phosphate-free detergents can have the following effects: - waste water from rinsing may be cloudier because of the presence of zeolites held in suspension, without the rinse performance being adversely affected; - presence of white powder (zeolites) on laundry after washing, which is not absorbed by the fabric and does not alter the colour of the fabric. - The presence of foam in the final rinsing water is not necessarily an indication of poor rinsing. - Anionic surfactants used in washing detergent formulae often prove to be difficult to remove from the laundry itself and, even in small quantities, can still cause considerable foam production. - Carrying out more rinse cycles does not serve any purpose in such cases. 2.
