Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electri-

city 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 pre-

vent 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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pul-

ling 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-cle-

aning pump which does not require any main-

tenance. Sometimes, small items (such as

coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber

which protects the pump, situated in its bot-

tom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and

unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-

chamber:

1. using a screwdri-

ver, remove the cover

panel on the lower

front part of the wa-

shing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid

by rotating it anti-

clockwise (see figu-

re): 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.
