Care and maintenance
Cutting off the water and electricity
supplies
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
appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked
in lukewarm 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
frequently.
Caring for the door and drum of your
appliance
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent 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. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwise
(
see
figure
)
:
a little water
may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
2. clean the inside thoroughly;
3. screw the lid back on.
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
cracked hose could easily split open.
Never use second-hand hoses.
