GB
city 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 pre-
vent 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

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-clea-

protects the pump, situated in its bottom part.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and

the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

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.
2. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figu-
re): a little water may
trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
