Maintenance: Zanussi FLS 502
Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried
out you must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply.
ENGLISH
1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a
neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under a
running tap. Remove the drawer by pressing the catch
downwards and by pulling it out.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.
Detergent can also eventually accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water inlet hose at the rear of the
appliance.
Clean it with a stiff brush.
Refit the filter and screw the hose at the rear of the
appliance.

4. Drain filt er
The drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the
filter is clean.
Open the filter door.
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (drain pump is blocked,
filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
■ pull out the plug from the power socket;
■ close the water tap;
■ if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
■ place a bowl on the floor;
■ put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water
come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain
hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the
kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after
placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out
slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
6. The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
■ Turn off the water tap.
■ Unscrew the inlet hose.
■ Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme until
the selector dial is in the “Stop” position.
■ Switch the machine off.
■ Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
■ When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
