Care and maintenance

GB	Cutting off the water and electricity
	supplies
	• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
	This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-
	side the washing machine and help to prevent
	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.
	Cleaning the detergent dispenser
	drawer
	Remove the dispenser
	by raising it and pulling
	it out (see figure).
	Wash it under running
	water; this operation
	should be repeated
	frequently.

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 screwdriver, remove the cover pa- nel on the lower front part of the washing machine (see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rotating it anti-clockwi- se (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly nor- mal;

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 immedia- tely: during the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.

!Never use second-hand hoses.
