• 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

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

Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling

The washing machine is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require any maintenance.
Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons)
may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the
pump, situated in the lower part of the same.

the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
3. clean the interior thoroughly;
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.

and a cracked hose could easily split open.

 Never use hoses that have already been used.
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel
on the lower front of
the washing machine
(see figure);
2. unscrew the lid
rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figure):
a little water may
trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
