After each wash
• At the end of the wash programme, pull the
dispenser drawer out a little to let it dry.
• Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.
If the machine is not used for a prolonged
period:
•
Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.
Periodical cleaning
Bodywork
• Clean the outside of the machine with warm water
and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important
: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
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
compartment can be removed.
• Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush.
• Refit the drawer after cleaning.
Drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean.
• Place a container under the filter and unscrew it;
some water will come out of the filter.
• Pull out the filter.
• Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the hose from the tap.
• Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap.
