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.
•Thewashingmachinehasaautoclean
programme for its internal parts that must be
run with no load in the drum.
To help the wash cycle
you may want to use
either the detergent
(i.e. a quantity 10%
the quantity specified
for lightly-soiled
garments) or special
additives to clean the
washing machine. We
recommend running a
cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.
To start the programme press button A for 5
seconds (see figure).
The programme will start automatically and will
run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle
press the START/PAUSE button.
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. using a
screwdriver, remove
the cover panel on
the lower front part of
the washing machine
(see figure);
2. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure):
a little water may
trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. 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.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
