3. unscrew the lid by rotating it in an anti- clockwise direction (see figure);

4.clean the inside thoroughly;

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.

Caring for your appliance drum

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

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.

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.
