CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY HOSE
Check the inlet hose regularly (at least once per year) for
brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it immediately.
During the wash cycles, water pressure is very strong and a
cracked hose could easily split open
If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check
if the color intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak
and should be replaced.
NOTE:
Do Not Use Second-Hand Hoses.
Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washer-dryer.
NOTE:
Turn off the water supply after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliance’s water system and also
prevent leaks. Unplug your appliance when cleaning it, while
on vacation, and during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning the outside of 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.
Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or
similar to clean the control panel - these substances might damage
the surfaces.
Cleaning the inside of the washer-dryer
The washer-dryer has a
“Clean Washer ”
cycle for its
internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum.
To optimise this cycle, use regular liquid chlorine bleach. Pour
bleach into both the softener compartment and the extra
bleach compartments, filling both to their respective max fill
levels. Do not use thickened or splash-less bleach as excess
suds may occur.
Note:
Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is
recommended above could cause washer-dryer damage over
time.
To start the program, close the door, turn the machine ON
and set
“Clean Washer ”
cycle.
To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.
We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 30 wash
cycles.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent
unpleasant odors from forming.
For better care, periodically wipe the entire inside of the door
with a damp cloth, and also inspect the gray-colored seal
between the door opening and the drum for buildup. Wipe
the seal clean using a damp.
