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.

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.

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.
