Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electri-
GB
city supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system
inside the washing machine and help to pre-
vent leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning
it and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
• The outer parts and rubber components of
the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth
soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use
solvents or abrasives.
• The washing machine has a "Auto Clean"
programme for its internal parts that must be
run with no load in the drum.
For maximum performance you may want to
use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the
quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments) or
special additives to clean the washing machine.
We recommend running a cleaning programme
every 40 wash cycles.
To start the programme press buttons A and B
simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).
The programme will start automatically and will
last approximately 70 minutes.

Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling
it out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
Caring for the door and drum of
your appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea-
ning pump which does not require any mainte-
nance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins
or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber which
protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks
are securely in place before you push it onto
the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If
there are any cracks, it should be replaced
immediately: during the wash cycles, water
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose
could easily split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
1. using a screwdri-
ver, remove the cover
panel on the lower
front part of the wa-
shing machine (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figu-
re): a little water may
trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
