• 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.

programme for its internal parts that must be
run with no load in the drum.

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:
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.
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;
