To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover pa-

nel on the lower front

part of the washing

machine (see figure);

2. unscrew the lid by

rotating it anti-clockwi-

se (see figure): a little

water may trickle out.

This is perfectly nor-

mal;

3. clean the inside tho-

roughly;

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 immedia-

tely: 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 electricity

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 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

solvents or abrasives.

Caring for the door and drum of

your appliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to

prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning

pump which does not require any maintenance.

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.

How to clean the detergent dispenser

rinse them.

Reassembly:

sert the pair of siphons
