Care and maintenance

Turning off the water and electricity GB supplies

•Turn off the water tap after every wash. This limits wear and tear on the machine’s water supply and prevents leaks.

•Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before cleaning it and before performing any maintenance work on it.

Cleaning the machine

The exterior of the appliance and all rubber parts may be cleaned using a cloth soaked in warm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

	To remove the drawer,
1	press the lever (1) and
	pull it outwards (2) (see
	figure).
	Wash the drawer under
	running water; this
	should be done regularly.

Drum maintenance

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

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Remove the kick strip on the front of the machine using a screwdriver (see figure);

2. Position a container collecting the drained water (approximately 1.5 l) correctly (see figure); 3. Unscrew the cover, turning it in an anticlockwise direction (see figure);

4.Clean the inside thoroughly;

5.Screw the cover back on;

6.Replace the kick strip, making sure that the hooks are positioned in the right slots before pushing the panel towards the machine.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, replace it immediately: the high water pressure used by the wash cycles could cause a cracked hose to split open.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump which does not require regular maintenance. However, it may be that small objects (coins, buttons, etc.) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump (the pump is located in the lower part of this pre-chamber).

Make sure that the wash cycle has finished and remove the plug from the socket.
