Care and Maintenance

Switching off the electricity

• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will

limit the wear of your appliance's water system and

also prevent leaks.

• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during

all maintenance operations.

Cleaning

Cleaning the exterior

Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior

surfaces of the appliance.

Cleaning the door bowl

Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly

with a soft cloth. A build up of soap powder and water

hardness residue may result in water leaking from the

door.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer and

compartments

It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.

! Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer

while the machine is running.

4. Relocate the dispenser drawer and push it firmly

back into place.

! Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive

cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal

polish as they may cause damage.

1. Pull out the drawer until it

reaches its stop.

2. Press the drawer release

button to remove the dispenser

drawer (see figure).

3. Clean and dry the dispenser

drawer, syphons, grate and

fabric conditioner exit channel

(A). Also regularly clean the

outlet pipe area (B).

Caring for your appliance door and

drum

• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent

unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning

pump which does not require regular maintenance.

However, it may be that small objects (coins, buttons,

etc.) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump

(the pump is located in the lower part of this pre-

chamber).

! Make sure that the wash cycle has finished and

remove the plug from the socket.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the covering panel

on the front of the washing

machine using a screwdriver

(see figure).

2. unscrew the cover, turning it

in an anticlockwise direction

(see figure). a little water may

trickle out. This is perfectly

normal.

3. Clean the inside thoroughly.

4. Screw the cover back on.

5. Replace the cover panel, making sure that the

hooks are positioned in the right slots before pushing

the panel towards the machine.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you

see any cracks, replace it immediately. During the

wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a

cracked hose to split open.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.
