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 out er parts an d ru bber com-
ponents of the appliance can be cleaned
using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm so-
apy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
• The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean” pro-
gramme for its internal parts that must be run
with no load in the drum.
For maximum performance 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 washer-dryer. We
recommend running a cleaning programme every
40 wash cycles.
To start the programme
press buttons A and B
simultaneously for 5 se-
conds (see figure).
The programme will
start automatically and
will last approximately
70 minutes. To stop the
cycle press the START/
PAUSE button.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser
drawer
Remove the dispenser by raising it and pulling
it out (see figure).
Wash it under running water; this operation
should be repeated frequently.
Caring for the door and drum of
your appliance
• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
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 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 screwdriver,
remove the cover pa-
nel on the lower front
part of the washer-
dryer (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwi-
se (see figure): a little
water may trickle out.
This is perfectly nor-
mal;
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 immedia-
tely: during the wash cycles, water pressure is
very strong and a cracked hose could easily
split open.
! Never use second-hand hoses.
