4- Maintenance
4.1 - Cleaning the drain-pump
This machine is f itted with a high-performance SELF-CLEANING motorized pump.
This pump has the capacity to pull along and to wash away with the water any fibres, buttons or
objects of a small size. Because of this, the machine does not require a water f ilter.
Under normal circumstances, this motorized pump cannot become blocked. If it should become
blocked in any case, call the Technical Assistance Service to have this malfunction put right.
N.B.: Before placing clothes in the washing machine, make sure there are no coins, buttons,
clips, etc. in any pockets.
4.1 - Cleaning the drain-pump outlet filter.
It is advisable to periodically clean this f ilter (every 25 wash cycles) in order to
maintain the correct operation of the drain pump and consequently, the washing and
