Frost risk
When there is a risk of frost, disconnect the water supply hose and empty
any water remaining in the drain hose by placing this as low as possible
in a basin.
Cleaning the filter
After a certain number of cycles, your machine will warn you that you
should clean the drain pump filter.
At the end of the cycle, the following two lights flash:
You must reset the cycle counter to remove this message: if you do not
do this, it will continue to be displayed at the end of every cycle.
Cleaning the pump filter
This filter catches any small objects inadvertently left in the clothes to

Care of the internal components
To ensure better hygiene, we recommend that you:
• Leave the lid open for a short time after washing.
• Clean the plastic and rubber access components to the tank approximately
once a month using a slightly chlorinated product. Run a rinsing cycle
to remove any residue of this product.
• Run a washing cycle at 90°C at least once a month.
Periodic checks
We recommend that you check the condition of the water supply and
drain hoses. If you notice the slightest cracking, do not hesitate to replace
them with identical hoses available from the manufacturer or his After-
Sales service.
Replacing a water supply hose
When replacing the hose, ensure that the hose is tightly fastened and
that there is a seal at both ends.
Replacing the power cable
For your safety's sake, this operation must be performed by the
manufacturer's After-Sales service or a qualified professional
electrician.
