To pull out the dispenser drawer, open until the first stop point then press lever A to open completely; finally, press one of the levers D and pull the drawer outwards (see picture).

Wash it under running water; this procedure should be effected regularly. Be careful to remove any detergent residues from the dispenser drawer socket on the machine.

Keep the drawer to the left hand side when replacing it to ensure that it centres the guides and to prevent it from jamming.

Caring for your appliance drum

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

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.

5. screw the lid back on;

6. 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.
