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

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.

￿Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the washing machine (see figure);

2

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

2. unscrew the lid rotating it anti- clockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

Caring for your appliance door and drum

•Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

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.
