Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit

the wear of your appliance’s water system and also

prevent leaks.

• Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all

maintenance operations.

Cleaning your appliance

The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be

cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water.

Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Caring for your appliance door and

drum

• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unplea-

sant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that

does not require any maintenance. Sometimes, small items

(such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that

protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.

! Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the

appliance.

How to clean the detergent dispenser

Cleaning:

Then clean the dispenser under a tap (fig. 3) using an old

toothbrush and, once the pair of siphons inserted in the top

of compartments 1 and 2 (fig. 4) have been pulled out, check

whether the same are not clogged and then rinse them.

Reassembly:

Do not forget to reinsert

the pair of siphons into the

special housings and then to

replace the dispenser into its

seat, clicking it into place (fig.

4, 2 and 1).

Disassembly:

Press lightly on the large

button on the front of the

detergent dispenser and pull

it upwards (fig. 1, 2).

To recover any objects that have fallen into the pre-chamber:

1. remove the plinth at the

bottom on the front side

of the washing machine

by pulling from the side

with your hands (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid rota-

ting it anticlock-wise (see

figure): a little water may

trickle out. This is perfect-

ly normal;

3. clean the interior tho-

roughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel,

making sure the hooks are

securely in place befo-

re you push it onto the

appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If you see

any cracks, replace it immediately: during the wash cycles,

water pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could

easily split open.

! Never use hoses that have already been used.
