Care and cleaning
You must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply, before you
can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Descaling
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 manufacturers
instructions. This will help to prevent the
formation of lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for...

Cleaning the 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 containfer close to the pump
to collect any spillage. 
 Pull out the emergency emptying
hose, place it in the container and
remove its cap.
 When no more water comes...

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.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains
traces of lime deposit, the water inlet
filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it
from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the
water inlet hose. Clean the...
