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 pull out the dispenser drawer, open until the first stop
point then press lever A to open completely; finally, press
one of the levers D and pull the drawer outwards (see
picture).
Wash it under running water; this procedure should be
effected regularly. Be careful to remove any detergent
residues from the dispenser drawer socket on the
machine.
Keep the drawer to the left hand side when replacing it
to ensure that it centres the guides and to prevent it
from jamming.
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.
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.
