Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water or electricity supply

GB
• 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 cle-
aned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do
not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

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 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.
Disassembly:
Press lightly on the large
button on the front of the
detergent dispenser and pull
it upwards (fig. 1).

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.

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

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.

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
rotating it anticlock-wise
(see figure): a little water
may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
3. clean the interior
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.
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).
