Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried
out you must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply.
Door seal
Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate
eventual possible objects that could be trapped in
the fold.
Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water
and a detergent used to handwash dishes. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents
or similar products to clean the bodywork.
Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the
machine, press the button in the rear left-hand
corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment can be removed.
Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.
Drain pump
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:
• Disconnect the appliance.
• If necessary wait until the water has cooled down.
• Open the pump door.
• Place a bowl on the floor to collect any spillage.
• Pull out the emergency emptying hose, place it in
the bowl and remove its cap.
• When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump cover and remove it.
