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
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.
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.
