Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electri-

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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

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;
