Cleaning and maintenance

Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

Drain pump

The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly if

the machine does not empty and/or spin

the machine makes an unusual noise during draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins etc. blocking the pump.

Proceed as follows:

Disconnect the appliance.

If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.

Open the pump door.

Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

Release the emer- gency emptying hose, place it in the container and remove its cap.

When no more water comes out,

unscrew the pump and remove

it. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing the pump.

Remove any objects from the pump impeller by rotating it.

Put the cap back on the emergency empty- ing hose and place the latter back in its seat.

Screw the pump fully in.

Close the pump door.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.

Turn off the water tap.
