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 du-
ring all maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
• The outer parts and rubber components of the applian-
ce 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 simulta-
neously for 5 seconds (see figure).
The programme will start automatically and will last appro-
ximately 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/
PAUSE button.

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-cleaning pump
which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small
items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-cham-
ber 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 screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front part of
the washing machine (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid by rota-
ting it anti-clockwise (see
figure): a little water may
trickle out. This is perfectly
normal;
