HOW TO MAINTAIN THE WASHING MACHINE
Cleaning the drain pump
This machine is provided with a self-cleaning pump.
In case of pump obstruction (due to trapped foreign
objects: like coins, button etc.) you will notice that
the machine will not drain completely.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the drain hose in a basin at floor level, to
evacuate the water.
2. Take the plastic plinth and tilt it towards you for
direct access to the pump.
3. Unscrew the pump cover (counter - clockwise)
and place a floor cloth under the pump to collect
water from the pump.
4. Clean the filter and inner space of pump and
replace the pump filter.
5. Reposition the plinth.
How to remove any object stuck between the tub
and the drum
The machine is provided with a removable lifter
situated opposite the drum flaps which may be
removed to take out any object stuck between the tub
and the drum.
1. Remove the laundry from the drum and close the
drum flaps. Turn the drum by half a revolution
and two oval openings will appear (covered by the
plastic lifter).
2. Push the plastic button on the lifter and slide the
lifter to the right. The lifter will fall into the
drum.
3. Turn the drum so that the drum flaps are accessi-
ble from the top.
4. Open the flaps and remove the lifters. The opening
in the drum bottom allows the objects to be
removed.
5. To replace the lifter reverse all the above opera-
tions.
