Care and maintenance
Cleaning the washing machine
• 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 washing machine has a Auto-Clean
programme for its internal parts that must be
run with no load in the drum .
To help the wash cycle 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 washing
machine. We recommend running a cleaning
programme every 40 wash cycles.
It can be activated in the following two ways:
- press the button on the control panel then
press the SELECTOR twice.
- turn the SELECTOR until it is on the icon
of the SERVICES menu, press it to enter the
sub-menu, then turn it until it is on the icon
and press it two times.
Descaling Cycle
A message on the display will remind the user
to periodically run the descaling treatment,
using a special detergent.
In order to identify the most suitable descaling
product for your washing machine (WPRO),
access wpro.eu.
The descaling cycle allows for keeping the
machine’s components (drum, pipes) clean.
Whenever necessary, the display will visualise
the following notice: “
Descaling cycle recom-
mended. Remind me later?” / .
If the question is answered affirmatively, the
message will appear at the end of the cycle
or when the machine is switched on the next
time. In case of a negative answer, the mes-
sage will not reappear for the successive 100
cycles (the counter is reset).
For information on how to run the cycle, follow
the instructions appearing on the package of
the descaling product.
Caring for the door and drum of
your appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order
to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
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 electri-
city supplies
• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.
This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-
side the washing machine and help to prevent
leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning
it and during all maintenance work.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pul-
ling it out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is fitted with a auto-clean
pump which does not require any maintenan-
ce. 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 screwdri-
ver, remove the cover
panel on the lower
front part of the wa-
shing machine (see
figure);
2. unscrew the lid
by rotating it anti-
clockwise (see figu-
re) : 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.
