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.
To recover any objects that have fallen into the
pre-chamber:
1. remove the plinth
at the bottom on the
front side of the
washing machine by
pulling from the side
with your hands (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anticlock-
wise (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.
! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and
unplug the appliance.
How to clean the detergent dispenser
Cleaning:
Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an
old toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted
in the top of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been
pulled out, check whether the same are not clogged
and then rinse them.
Reassembly:
Do not forget to reinsert
the pair of siphons into the
special housings and then
to replace the dispenser
into its seat, clicking it into
place (fig. 4, 2 and 1).
Disassembly:
Press lightly on the large
button on the front of the
detergent dispenser and
pull it upwards (fig. 1).
