Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
GB
supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-
side 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.

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.

Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling
it out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
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 immedia-
tely: 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 screwdriver,
remove the cover pa-
nel on the lower front
part of the washing
machine (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwi-
se (see figure): a little
water may trickle out.
This is perfectly nor-
mal;
