! If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type,
then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely.
DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a
socket and create a shock hazard.
! The power supply cord should be checked periodically
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this
machine and fitted only by authorised technicians (see
Service ). Replacement power cords can be purchased,
at an extra cost from our Genuine Parts and
Accessories department or authorised dealers.
! The manufacturer denies any responsibility should any
of these rules not be followed.
! If in doubt about any of the above consult a
qualified electrician.
Cleaning the pump
This appliance 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.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug
the appliance.
To access the chamber:
1. Remove the kickstrip, on
the lower front of the
appliance, by holding at each
end and pulling towards you
(see figure ).
2. Unscrew the pump filter
by rotating it antclockwise,
until it can be removed (see
figure ). A little water may
leak from the pump: this is
perfectly normal.
3. Clean the interior
thoroughly, removing any
visible debris.
4. Refit by screwing the
filter into place until it
reaches its stop position.
5. Refit the kickstrip, making
sure that the hooks are
securely in place before you
push in onto the appliance.

maintenance operations.

cleaners, scouring agents, acids,any bleach or metal
polish as they may cause damage.
Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the
exterior surfaces of the appliance.
Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly
with a soft cloth.A build up of soap powder and
water hardness residue may result in water leaking
from the door.
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.

drawer and push it firmly
back into place.
