Treat your machine well and it will provide
many years of trouble free service
Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in
shape.
Your washer-dryer is designed
to provide reliable service over
many years. A few simple steps
will help to prolong its life and
avoid problems. It is advisable,
to turn off water taps when the
machine is not to be used, this
protects the hoses, etc.
If the water in your area is too
hard, use a deliming product
(water is hard if it often leaves
whitish stains around taps or
drains, especially of bath tubs.
For more accurate information as
to the type of water in your
system, call the local water
works or a local plumber).
Pockets must always be
emptied removing even pins,
badges and any other hard
object.
The washer-dryer exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap.
Never exaggerate with doses.
Normal detergents already
contain deliming agents. Only if
the water is particularly hard,
that is, rich in lime content, do
we recommend the use of a
specific product at every wash.
A periodical wash cycle with a
dose of a deliming product,
without detergents or washing,
may prove useful.
Never use too much detergent
or additives because this could
cause an excess amount of
foam, scaling and possible
damage to the component parts
of your washer-dryer.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.
Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid
possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump.
It is important to wash
the detergent dispenser
regularly.
To prevent dried washing
powder from
accumulating, place the
dispenser under running
water for a few minutes.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can
cause damage to your washer-dryer.
Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first
ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty.
Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at
the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place
a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch
the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anti-
clockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced.
Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into
the slots and ease the top edge back into position.
The water inlet hose
Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washer-dryer,
water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.
