Cutting off the water and electricity

supplies

 

 

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This will

 

limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing

 

machine and help to prevent leaks.

 

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and du-

 

ring all maintenance work.

 

Cleaning the washing 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

 

Remove the dispenser by

 

raising it and pulling it out

 

(see figure).

 

Wash it under running wa-

 

ter; this operation should be

 

repeated frequently.

2. unscrew the lid by rota- ting 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.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.

!Never use second-hand hoses.

Caring for the door and drum of your appliance

Always leave the porthole door ajar in order 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 pre-cham- ber 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. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see

figure);
