supply
• 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 cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Caring for your appliance door and drum

• Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant 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 but-
tons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects
the pump, situated in the lower part of the same.

the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the water inlet hose at least once a
year. If you see any cracks, replace it imme-
diately: during the wash cycles, water pres-
sure is very strong and a cracked hose could
easily split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been
used.
