CLEANING OF THE LINT FILTER
MAINTENANCE OF CABINET
CLEANING OF THE WATER INLET
At the end of a complete washing program, the
machine will sound to alert you that the cycle
has been complete. Remove the clothes from
the machine and insert the foam support if
washing is complete.
To reduce the risk of electric shock and water
leaking, isolate the water and power supply
while not in use.
After each completed washing cycle ensure that
the lint filter is cleaned.
1. Remove the lint filter from the tub.
2. Carefully open the filter and remove the lint.
3. Refit the lint filter back into the unit.
Periodically clean the water inlet filter screen as this
may be blocked by debris.
1. Turn off the water source and switch on the power.
2. Start the washing machine cycle and continue for
5 seconds (this allows the water in the hose to
flow and removes any pressure in the line) then
power off the machine.
3. Remove the water inlet hose, take out the water
inlet filter screen from the inlet valve, clean the
filter, refit the filter and reconnect
the water inlet hose.
Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the washing
machine. Avoid the use of harsh detergents
or chemicals as it may damage the surface
of the washing machine.
