Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water or electricity supply
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit
the wear of your appliance's water system and also
prevent leaks.
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during
all maintenance operations.
Cleaning your appliance
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be
cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy
water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
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 your appliance door and drum
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump
that does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small
items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-
chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part
of the same.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the
appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front of the
washing machine (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anti-clockwise
(see figure): a little water
may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
3. clean the interior
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 water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see
any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash
cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose
could easily split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
