Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity GB 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.

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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Checking the water inlet hose

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.

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.

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:
