Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity GB supply

•Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in the machine and help to prevent leaks.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

•Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

•Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the 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

We recommend you check that there is no detergent or water inside the detergent drawer before removing it. If these substances are present, proceed with care as they may leak out of the drawer while it is being removed.

The detergent dispenser drawer in this machine is cleaned automatically during the wash cycles. However, residues may form very occasionally after certain detergents have been used. To clean the drawer, proceed as follows:

1. Open the door to access the drawer.

2. Remove the drawer by pulling upwards, holding it by the central compartment as indicated in the figure. Do not grip the drawer by the grille as this may damage it.

3. Unhook the drawer cover to access the compartment, as indicated in the figure.

4. Clean the drawer under running water.

5. Re-hook the cover and replace the drawer, pushing until it clicks into place.

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 pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.

Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. remove the protective casing on the lower part of the washing machine, turning it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure);

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.screw the protective cap back on by turning it in a clockwise direction, making sure the arrow on the inside part of the cap is facing upwards.

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.
