Candy GOY 1050 D: Cleaning and routine maintenance

Cleaning and routine maintenance

Do not use alcohol-based scourers and /or thinners on the outside of your washing ma-

chine, just a wipe with a damp cloth will suffice. The washing machine needs very little

maintenance:

– Cleaning the drawer compartments;

– Cleaning the filter;

– Removals or long periods when the machine is left standing.

Cleaning the drawer compartments

Even if it is not strictly necessary, it is good to clean the com-

partments for bleaching detergents and additives occasionally.

A. To do this you just need to pull them out firmly, but without

forcing them;

B. Clean everything in the compartment under running water;

C. Put the compartments back into place

Filter cleaning

The washing-machine is equipped with a special filter to re-

tain large foreign matter which could clog up the drain, such

as coins, buttons, etc. These can, therefore, easily be re-

covered. The procedures for cleaning the filter are as fol-

lows:

• Open the flap;

• Only available on certain models:

Pull out the corrugated hose, remove the stopper and drain

the water into a container.

• Before removing the filter, place an absorbent towel below

the filter cap to collect the small amount of water likely to be

inside the pump;

• Turn the filter anticlockwise till it stops in vertical position;

• Remove and clean;

A. After cleaning, replace by turning the notch on the end of the filter clockwise. Then fol-

low all procedures described above in reverse order.

Transporting storing the appliance for long periods when appli-

ance 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 all 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 same operation with the water

inlet hose.
