Care and maintenance

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 protective

pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and

unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Take off the cover

panel on the front

of the machine by

first pressing it in

the centre and then

pushing downwards

on both sides until

you can remove it

(see figures).

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.

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.

For maximum performance 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 buttons A and

B simultaneously for 5 seconds (see figure).

The programme will start automatically and

will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the

cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

To remove the drawer,

press lever (1) and pull

the drawer outwards

(2) (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this procedure

should be repeated

frequently.
