Cleaning the drawer recess
You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you can carry
out any cleaning or maintenance work.
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in
the machine.
Do this separately from any laundry washing, and
according to the softening powder manufacturer's
instructions.
This will help to prevent the formation of lime
deposits.
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
Havin g removed the drawer,
use a small brush to
clean the recess ensuring
that all washing powder
residue is removed from
the upper and lower part
of the recess.
Replace the drawer and
run the rinse programme without any clothes in the
drum.
Cleaning the pump
Important!
Warning!
According to the soil level within the cycles and the
frequency of the cycles, you have to inspect and
clean the filter regularly.
The pump should be inspected 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:
1 disconnect the appliance;
2 if necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
3 Open the pump
door. Place a
container close to the
pump to collect any
spillage.
4 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 cover.
5 Remove any objects from the pump impeller by
rotating it.
6 Screw the pump cover fully in.
7 Close the pump door.
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the
pump. Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the
cycle, and is empty. When replacing the cover,
ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks
and young children being able to remove it.
