Care and maintenance 

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 protective 

pre-chamber at the base of the pump.

!

 Make sure the wash cycle has finished and 

unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1. Take off the cover 

panel on the front 

of the machine by 

first pressing it in 

the centre and then 

pushing downwards 

on both sides until 

you can remove it 

(see figures).

2. Unscrew the lid 

by rotating it anti-

clockwise (

see

figure

)

: 

a little water may 

trickle out. This is 

perfectly normal.

3. Clean the inside thoroughly.

4. Screw the lid back on.

5. Reposition the panel, making sure the hooks 

are securely 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 cracked hose 

could easily split open.

!

 Never use second-hand hoses.

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. 

•  The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean” 

programme for its internal parts that 

must be 

run with no load in the drum

.

For maximum performance you may want 

to use either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 

10% the quantity specified for lightly-soiled 

garments) or special additives to clean the 

washer-dryer. We recommend running a 

cleaning programme every 40 wash cycles.

To start the programme press buttons 

A

 and 

B

 simultaneously for 5 seconds 

(see figure).

The programme will start automatically and 

will last approximately 70 minutes. To stop the 

cycle press the START/PAUSE button.

Cleaning  the  detergent  dispenser 

drawer

To remove the drawer, 

press lever (1) and pull 

the drawer outwards 

(2) 

(see figure).

Wash it under running 

water; this procedure 

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.
