Cleaning and maintenance

After each wash

At the end of the wash programme, pull the dispenser drawer out a lit-
tle to let it dry.
Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.
If the machine is not used for a prolonged period:
Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.

Periodical cleaning

Bodywork

Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, non-
abrasive household detergent. 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 tooth-
brush.
Refit the drawer after cleaning.

Drain filter

The drain filter
collects threads
and small objects
inadvertently left
in the laundry.
Check regularly
that the filter is
clean.
Place a container
under the filter and unscrew it; some water will come out of the filter.
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit
it, screwing it fully in.

Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking
longer to fill, check that the filter in the
water inlet hose is not blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove
the filter.
Clean it with a stiff brush.
Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto
the tap.
