• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

 

 

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-

leaks.

 

 

 

 

• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning

 

 

it and during 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.

 

 

• The washing machine has a “Auto Clean”

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

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-clea- ning pump which does not require any mainte- nance. Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber 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 screwdri- ver, remove the cover panel on the lower front part of the wa- shing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti- clockwise (see figu- re): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal;

Remove the dispenser by raising it and pul- ling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

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.
