User manual

Always obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is possible that
some detergent stays in the drum. Perform a
maintenance wash regularly. To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton programme with the highest
temperature with a small quantity of detergent.
Door seal
This appliance is designed with a self cleaning
draining system, allowing light fluff fibers that fall off
the clothes to be drained out with the water, in such a
way that there is no need to access this area for regular
maintenance and cleaning.
Regularly examine the seal and remove all objects from
the inner part. Coins, buttons, other small items
forgotten in the pockets of your clothes are deposited
during the washing cycle in the special double lip trap in
the porthole seal, where they can be conveniently
recovered at the end of the cycle.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
Clean regularly the washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer.
• Press the catch
downwards and pull it out
to remove the drawer.
• Flush it out under a tap, to
remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
• Remove the top part of the
additive compartment to
aid cleaning.
• Make sure that all washing
powder residue is
removed from the upper
and lower part of the
recess.
• Use a small brush to clean
the recess.
• Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the drain filter
The pump should be inspected regularly and particularly
if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during
draining phase due to objects such as safety pins,
coins and so on blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected (see
chapter 'Troubleshooting' for more details).
Caution! Switch the appliance off and
remove the mains plug from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is necessary, wait until the water has cooled
down.
