CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine off and disconnect it from the mains

power . Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washing machine .

DISCONNECT THE WATER AND POWER

SUPPLIES

Close the water tap after every wash . 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 .

CLEAN 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-cleaning" cycle for its

internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum .

To optimise this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent

(10% of the quantity specified for lightly soiled garments)

or special additives to clean the washing machine . We

recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash cycles .

To start the cycle press buttons

for 5 seconds .

The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70

minutes . To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE

button .

CARE FOR THE DOOR AND DRUM

Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent

unpleasant odours from forming .

CLEAN THE PUMP

The washing machine is fitted with a auto-cleaning pump

that does not require any maintenance . Small items (such as

coins or buttons) may sometimes fall into the protective pre-

chamber situated at the base of the pump .

! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the

appliance .

To access the pre-chamber:

1 .

Remove the cover panel on the front of the machine by

first pressing it in the centre then pushing downwards on

both sides to extract it;

2 .

Loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-

clockwise: it is normal for some water to leak out;

3 .

Clean the inside thoroughly;

4 .

Screw the cover back on;

5 .

Put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in

place before pushing the panel onto the appliance .

CHECK THE WATER INLET HOSE

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year . If it is cracked

or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high

pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open .

! Never use hoses that have already been used .
