Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity
GB
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.

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;
