To access the pre-chamber:
1. take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by
first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards
on both sides until you can remove it
(see figures);
2. position a container so that
it will collect the water which
flows out (approximately 1.5 l)
(
see figure
)
;
3. unscrew the lid by rotating
it in an anti-clockwise
direction (
see figure ) ;
4. clean the inside thoroughly;
5. screw the lid back on;
6. 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.
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 the machine and
help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Cleaning the 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
To remove the drawer, press
lever (1) and pull the drawer
outwards (2)
(see figure).
Wash it under running water;
this procedure should be
repeated frequently.
Caring for your appliance drum
• Always leave the door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump
which does not require any maintenance. Sometimes,
small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the
protective pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug the
appliance.
