Disposal Disposing of the packaging material: observe local regulations, so the packaging can be re-used. The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce 9 Care and maintenance GB Cutting off the water or electricity supply Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will limit the wear of your appliance's water system and also prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.

Sometimes, small items (such as coins or buttons) may fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, situated in the lower part of the same. Make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance. To access the pre-chamber: 1. using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the washing machine (see figure); Cleaning your appliance The exterior and rubber parts of your appliance can be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives. Cleaning the detergent dispenser Remove the dispenser by pulling it out (see figure). Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently. 2. unscrew the lid rotating it anticlockwise (see figure): a little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal; Caring for your appliance door and drum Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent unpleasant odours from forming. [. . . ] If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing machine to load and unload water continuously.

The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and the wall (see Installation). [. . . ]
