Maintenance and cleaning
Detergent Drawer
The powder detergent remnants may
accumulate in the detergent drawer.
To clean the detergent drawer, pull the
drawer towards you by pressing the
marked point of the siphon in the softener
compartment as shown in the illustration.
Wash the drawer in the sink with plenty
of water.
Siphon
Do not forget to clean the siphon
(the colored part in the detergent drawer)
when it gets dirty. To remove the siphon,
first take out the detergent drawer. To
prevent clogging, clean the softener
remnants inside of it. After cleaning, put
back the siphon and check if it is well
seated or not.
Inlet Water Filters
At the end of the water inlet valves which
are mounted to the back of the machine
and the flat end of the water inlet hoses
that are mounted onto the taps, there is
one filter for each. These filters prevent
the foreign substances and dirt in the
water entering the machine. Filters should
be cleaned when they get dirty. To do this,
close the taps. Remove the water inlet
hoses. Clean the tops of the filters on the
water inlet valves with a thin brush. If the
filters are very dirty, you can pull out with
pliers and clean them. The filters on the
flat end of the water inlet hoses should
be taken out with their gaskets by hand
and cleaned thoroughly under the flowing
water. (There are 2 filters in the machines with
single (cold) water inlet and 4 filters in the
machines with double (hot-cold) water inlets.
