Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and
electricity supplies
_
Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside
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-cleaning
pump which does not require any maintenance.
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. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-
clockwise
(see figure)
: a
little water may trickle
out. This is perfectly
normal;
2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the lid back on.
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.
Never use second-hand hoses.
