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.

•Thewashingmachinehasa“AutoClean”programme

for its internal parts that must be run with no load in the

drum.

To help the wash cycle 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

simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).

The programme will start automatically and will run for

about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/

PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser by

raising it and pulling it out

(see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation should

be repeated frequently.

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:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part of

the washing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid by

rotating it anti-clockwise

(see figure): a little water

may trickle out. This is

perfectly normal;

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.
