Maintenance: Zanussi FLS 702

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.
