Shutting off the water and electricity
supplies
Shut off the water tap after every wash. This limits
wear and tear on the machines water supply and
prevents leaks.
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply
before cleaning it and before performing any
maintenance work on it.
Cleaning the machine
The exterior of the appliance and all rubber parts may
be cleaned using a cloth soaked in warm soapy
water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
To remove the drawer,
press the lever (1) and pull
it outwards (2) (see
figure).
Wash the drawer under
running water; this should
be done regularly.
Drum maintenance
Always leave the porthole door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump which does not require regular maintenance.
However, it may be that small objects (coins, buttons,
etc.) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump
(the pump is located in the lower part of this pre-
chamber).
Make sure that the wash cycle has finished and
remove the plug from the socket.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. Remove the covering
panel on the front of the
machine using a
screwdriver (see figure).
2. Position a container
collecting the drained
water (approximately 1.5 l)
correctly (see figure).
3. Unscrew the cover,
turning it in an
anticlockwise direction
(see figure).
4. Clean the inside thoroughly.
5. Screw the cover back on.
6. Replace the cover panel, making sure that the
hooks are positioned in the right slots before pushing
the panel towards the machine.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If
there are any cracks, replace it immediately: the high
water pressure used by the wash cycles could cause
a cracked hose to split open.
