Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea-
ning pump which does not require any mainte-
nance. 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 screwdri-
ver, remove the cover
panel on the lower
front part of the wa-
shing machine (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figu-
re): 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.
Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electri-
city supplies
•Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-
side the washing machine and help to prevent
leaks.
•Unplugthewashingmachinewhencleaning

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pro-
gramme 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 activate the programme, press the but-
ton for 5 seconds then press START/PAUSE
to start the programme, which will last roughly
70 minutes.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Remove the dispen-
ser by raising it and
pulling it out (see
figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
