Maintenance
1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with soap and
water only. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft
cloth.
Important:
do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
2. Door seal
Check the door seal from time to time and remove
any objects that may be trapped in the fold.
3. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under
a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand
corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.
4. Drain pump
The pump should be inspected if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins
etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the appliance electricity supply
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
• Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.
• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the container and remove its cap.
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the drain
filter and remove. Always keep a rag nearby to dry
up spillage of water when removing the filter.
