Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity sup-

plies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This

will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the

Washer-dryer and help to prevent leaks.

• Unplug the Washer-dryer when cleaning it and during

all maintenance work.

Cleaning the Washer-dryer

The outer parts and rubber components of the ap-

pliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lu-

kewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pulling it

out (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation

should be repeated fre-

quently.

Caring for the door and drum of your ap-

pliance

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to pre-

vent unpleasant odours from forming.

Cleaning the pump

The Washer-dryer 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

pre-chamber which protects the pump, situated in its

bottom part.

! Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug

the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. using a screwdriver,

remove the cover panel

on the lower front part of

the washing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid by rota-

ting it anti-clockwise(see

figure): a little water may

trickle out. This is per-

fectly normal;

3. clean the inside thoroughly;

4. screw the lid back on;

5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are secu-

rely 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 cra-

cked hose could easily split open.

! Never use second-hand hoses.
