Care and maintenance
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 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 pa rt s and rubber 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
seconds (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 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
washer-dryer (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.
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.
