Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

 Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This

will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the

washing machine and help to prevent leaks.

 Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and

during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the washing machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the

appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in

lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or

abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

To remove the drawer, press

lever (1) and pull the drawer

outwards (2) (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this procedure should

be repeated frequently.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning

pump which does not require any maintenance.

Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may

fall into the protective pre-chamber at the base of the

pump.

 Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug

the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Take off the cover panel

on the front of the

machine by first pressing it

in the centre and then

pushing downwards on

both sides until you can

remove it (see figures).

2. Unscrew the lid by

rotating it anti-clockwise

(see figure): a little water

may trickle out. This is

perfectly normal.

3. Clean the inside 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 inlet hose at least once a year. If there are

any cracks, it should be replaced immediately: during

the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a

cracked hose could easily split open.

 Never use second-hand hoses.
