Switching off the electricity
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
Cleaning the exterior
Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior
surfaces of the appliance.
Cleaning the door bowl
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.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer and
compartments
It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.
! Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer
while the machine is running.
1. Pull out the drawer until it
reaches its stop.
2. Press the drawer release
button to remove the dispenser
drawer (see figure).
3. Clean and dry the dispenser
drawer, syphons, grate and
fabric conditioner exit channel
(A). Also regularly clean the
outlet pipe area (B).
4. Relocate the dispenser drawer and push it firmly
back into place.
! Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive
cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal
polish as they may cause damage.
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 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 washing
machine using a screwdriver
(see figure).
2. unscrew the cover, turning it
in an anticlockwise direction
(see figure). a little water may
trickle out. This is perfectly
normal.
3. Clean the inside thoroughly.
4. Screw the cover back on.
5. 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 you
see any cracks, replace it immediately. During the
wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a
cracked hose to split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
