• Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit wear on the hydraulic system in the machine
and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during
all maintenance work.
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.
 We recommend you check that there is no
detergent or water inside the detergent drawer
before removing it. If these substances are present,
proceed with care as they may leak out of the
drawer while it is being removed.
The detergent dispenser drawer in this machine is
cleaned automatically during the wash cycles.
However, residues may form very occasionally after
certain detergents have been used. To clean the
drawer, proceed as follows:
1. Open the door to
access the drawer.
2. Remove the drawer by
pulling upwards, holding it
by the central
compartment as
indicated in the figure. Do
not grip the drawer by
the grille as this may
damage it.

compartment, as
indicated in the figure.
4. Clean the drawer
under running water.
5. Re-hook the cover
and replace the drawer,
pushing until it clicks into
place.
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. screw the protective cap back on by turning it in a

inside part of the cap is facing upwards.
Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are
