Removing and Cleaning the
Detergent Compartment
Note: It is advisable to clean the detergent compartment
regularly. To do this:
Emptying the Pump Chamber
Your machine comes equipped with a self cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or
maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and
other small items. To avoid possible damage they are held in an accessible chamber situated at the
lower end of the pump.
To access the pump chamber:
Replace the syphon
tubes and relocate into
the lid, ensuring it clicks
into place.
WARNING
● Do not clean any part
of your appliance with
abrasive cleaners,
scouring agents, acids,
chlorine based bleach
or metal polish as they
may cause damage.
IMPORTANT
● Disconnect from the
electricity supply
before cleaning as well
as carrying out any
type of maintenance
procedure.
Open the external lid
completely. Press the
dispenser release button
and slide the dispenser
upwards to remove

syphon tubes. 1 2
Rinse all parts under the
tap, using an old tooth-
brush (take care to remove
any excess water remaining
inside the compartment)
Use only soap and water for
cleaning the surfaces.
Use only a cloth moistened with
water when cleaning plastic parts,
(control panels, plinth etc.)
