Maintenance
1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water
and a detergent used to handwash dishes. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under
a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand
corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.
Detergent can also
accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it
with an old toothbrush.
Refit the drawer after
cleaning.
3. Drain pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if
• the machine does not empty and/or spin
• the machine makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins, coins
etc. blocking the pump.
Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the appliance.
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
• Place a container close to the pump to collect any
spillage.
• Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the container and remove its cap.
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump cover and remove it. Always keep a rag
nearby to dry up spillage of water when removing
the pump.
• Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
• Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose
and place the latter back in its seat.
• Screw the pump fully in.
• Close the pump door.
