Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and
EN
electricity supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in
the machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the machine

The outer parts and rubber components of the
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth
soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use
solvents or abrasives.
A message on the display will regularly (roughly
every 50 cycles) advise the user to run an
automatic cleaning cycle to clean the washing
machine and combat limescale build-up and
bad odours.
For optimal maintenance we suggest using
WPRO Limescale and grease remover,
according to the instructions shown on the
package. The product can be purchased by
contacting the technical assistance service or
through the website www.hotpoint.eu.
Hotpoint declines all liability for any damages
to the appliance caused by the use of other
cleaning products for washing machines
available on the market.

To remove the drawer,
press lever (1) and pull
the drawer outwards (2)
(see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this procedure
should be repeated
frequently.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a self-
cleaning pump which does not require any
maintenance. Sometimes, small items (such
as coins or buttons) may fall into the protective
pre-chamber at the base of the pump.
! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and
unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:

1. take off the cover panel on the front of the
machine by first pressing it in the centre and
then pushing downwards on both sides until
you can remove it (see figures);
4. clean the inside thoroughly;
5. screw the lid back on;
6. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks
are securely in place before you push it onto
the appliance.

Checking the water inlet hose

Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If
there are any cracks, it should be replaced
immediately: during the wash cycles, water
pressure is very strong and a cracked hose
could easily split open.
2. position a container
so that it will collect the
water which flows out
(approximately 1.5 l)
(see figure);
3. unscrew the lid by
rotating it in an anti-
clockwise direction (see
figure);
