Remove the top protection and the protective corners. Remove the bottom protection by tilting and turning the washing machine on one rear bottom corner. Make sure that the black plastic part of the bottom protection (if available on the model) remains in the packing and not in the machine bottom. [. . . ] Replace the siphon caps in the dispenser (if removed). Replace the dispenser by locating the bottom tabs in the lid holes and pivot until both of the upper buttons lock. Note: ensure that the detergent dispenser is correctly reinstalled. Water inlet hose filter Check and clean regularly (at least two or three times a year). Carefully clean the filter located at the end of hose, without disassembling it, for example with a tooth-brush. Note: Do not submerge the hose in water. Screw the flexible hose back onto the tap by hand. Do not use pliers (risk of squashing the joint). Turn on the tap and check that the connections are water-tight. Plug the washing machine back in. A Safety valve inspection window Water inlet hose Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace it if necessary using a new hose of the same type. The inlet hose as shown on picture “A” has a safety valve to prevent the appliance against uncontrolled water inlet; if the safety valve inspection window is red, the safety valve has been activated and the hose must be exchanged. Contact out AfterSales Service or your specialist dealer to obtain a new inlet hose. If your inlet hose has a transparent hose coating (fig. “B”), periodically check the colour of the transparent coating. If the coating begins to turn red, this is an indication that the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. Contact our After-Sales Service team or specialist dealer to obtain a replacement hose. B GB 10 IFU-TL HR GB. fm Page 11 Thursday, June 7, 2007 2:23 PM Appliance exterior and control panel • Clean with a soft damp cloth. • If necessary, a neutral household cleaner can be applied (do not use aggressive or abrasive products). Lid seal • Check the condition of the lid seal periodically and clean it from time to time with a damp cloth. Water inlet hose(s) • Check the hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. Replace if necessary. Appliance interior • After each washing, leave the lid open for some time to allow the inside of the appliance to dry. • If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C programme without laundry, adding a small amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean. Filter • Check and clean the filter regularly, at least 3 or 4 times a year (see “Cleaning the Filter/ Draining Residual Water”). Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance. Recovering an object that falls between the drum and the tub If an object accidentally falls between the drum and the tub, you can recover it thanks to one of the removable drum blades: 1. Close the drum flaps and turn the drum a half-turn. Using a screw-driver, press on the plastic end while sliding the blade from left to right. Open the drum: you can recover the object through the hole in the drum. [. . . ] Important: Do NOT loosen the drain hose from the right connection, see arrow “B” on picture. Otherwise, there is the risk of leakage and of scalding with hot water. Fix the “U” bend (“C”) at the very end of the drain hose. Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink with the “U” bend and fix it properly. [. . . ]
