Cleaning the pump
pre-chamber
The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning
pump that does not require regular maintenance.
However, if small items (such as coins or buttons)
fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump,
you will need to retrieve them.
To access the pre-chamber:
1 Using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on
the lower front of the washer-dryer.
2 Place a small dish or tray below the cover.
Unscrew the pre-chamber by rotating it counter
clockwise. A little water may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal.
3 Clean the interior thoroughly.
4 Screw the pre-chamber back on.
5 Reposition the panel, making sure the tabs are
positioned correctly before you push the panel
back onto the appliance.
IMPORTANT
:
Before cleaning, make sure
the wash cycle has ended and unplug the
appliance.
No lint filter to clean
Your Splendide removes the lint automatically with
the help of it’s self-cleaning pump, so there’s no lint
filter to clean. However, it is recommended that you
occasionally inspect the outside vent and dryer
ducting for any lint accumulation (see below).
Checking the dryer vent
Occasionally go outside and check the dryer vent for
proper airflow. Assure that the vent and ducting are
lint-free.
