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 appliance

can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm

soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

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-

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:

Remove the dispenser by

raising it and pulling it out

(see figure).

Wash it under running wa-

ter; this operation should be

repeated frequently.

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part of

the washing machine (see

figure);

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 rota-

ting it anti-clockwise (see

figure): a little water may

trickle out. This is perfectly

normal;
