Care and maintenance
Switching off the water or electricity
●
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliances water system and
also prevent leaks.
●
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during
all maintenance operations.
Cleaning
Cleaning the exterior
The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can
be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer and compartments
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 your appliance door and drum
●
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you
see any cracks, replace it immediately: during the
wash cycles, high water pressure could cause a
cracked hose to split open.
!
Never use hoses that have already been used.

The plug must not be used
without the fuse cover in place.
If a replacement fuse
holder/cover is required, it must
be of the same colour coding or
wording as shown on the base of
the plug.

Changing the plug
The wires in the power cord are coloured in accordance
with the following:
!
If the plug being replaced is a non-rewirable type,
then the cut-off plug must be disposed of safely.
DO NOT leave it where it can be inserted into a socket
and create a shock hazard.
!
The power supply cord should be checked periodically
and replaced by a cord specially prepared for this
machine and fitted only by authorised technicians (
see
Service
). New or longer power cords are supplied at
an extra charge by authorised dealers.

Cleaning the pump
(Models A1437 & A1237 only):
!
Not applicable to Model A1637 as it has an integrated
filter system.
Your appliance is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that
does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may
fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump.
!
Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the
appliance.
To access the chamber:
1. Remove the kickstrip, on the
lower front of the appliance, by
holding at each end and pulling
towards you (
see figure
).
2. Unscrew the pump filter by
rotating it anti-clockwise, until it
can be removed (
see figure
).
A little water may leak from the
pump: this is perfectly normal.
3. Clean the interior thoroughly,
removing any visible debris.
4. Refit by screwing the filter into place until it reaches
its ‘stop’ position.
5. Refit the kickstrip, making sure that the hooks are
securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.
