Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity

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 prevent 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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump

which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small

items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective

pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the

appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

To remove the drawer, press

lever (1) and pull the drawer

outwards (2) (see figure).

Wash it under running water;

this procedure should be

repeated frequently.

1. Take off the cover panel

on the front of the machine

by first pressing it in the

centre and then pushing

downwards on both sides

until you can remove it (see

figures).

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.

2. Unscrew the lid by

rotating it anti-clockwise

(see figure): a little water

may trickle out. This is

perfectly normal.
