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.
