[. . . ] Maintenance Wash With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis. To run a maintenance wash: The drum should be empty of laundry. Select the hottest cotton wash programme. Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties. External cleaning Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly. Cleaning the dispenser drawer The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. Cleaning the drawer recess Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum. Cleaning the pump The pump should be inspected if the machine does not empty and/or spin the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. Proceed as follows: Pull out the plug from the power socket. If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down. Turn slowly the lid of the diaphragm towards left side and allow that the water of the washing machine goes flowing slowly to the bowl. When the bowl is full, turn and close the lid of the diaphragm. Repeat the procedure until you have completely emptied the washing machine. To continue, unscrew the lid of the diaphragm by turning it counter clockwise and pull it out. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the cover. Remove the objects such as buttons, coins and the lint that has been accumulated in the area of the pump impeller by rotating it. 16 To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder. 126293502. qxd 20/7/07 18:18 Página 17 Screw the lid of the diaphragm clockwise, be sure is completely tighten. Close the drainage area door. The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. [. . . ] Ecological hints To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips: Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!). The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature. Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed. 27 126293502. qxd 20/7/07 18:18 Página 28 Guarantee conditions Standard guarantee conditions We, Zanussi-Electrolux, undertake that if within12 months of the date of the purchase this Zanussi-Electrolux appliance or any part thereof is proved to be defective by reason only of faulty workmanship or materials, we will, at our option repair or replace the same FREE OFCHARGE for labour, materials or carriage on condition that: The appliance has been correctly installedand used only on the electricity supply statedon the rating plate.
