The washing machine comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects
may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are
withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.
To access this pre-chamber, just remove the panel covering the
bottom of the washing machine (fig. 1); then lift the cover rotating it
anti-clockwise (fig. 2) and check its contents accurately.
The rubber hose
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks,
replace it immediately. When you use your washing machine, water
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose could easily split open.
Warning: make sure that the wash cycle has come to a full stop and unplug the appliance before removing the lid as well as before any
type of maintenance procedure. It is normal to find that a little water comes out after removing the lid. When replacing the panel, make
sure you insert the hooks situated at the bottom of the washing machine in the right slots before pushing it back against the appliance.
