Care and maintenance

Cutting off the water and electricity GB 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.

2. unscrew the lid by rota- ting 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.

To remove the drawer, press lever (1) and pull the drawer outwards (2) (see figure).

Wash it under running wa- ter; this procedure should be repeated frequently.

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.

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. take off the cover
		panel on the front of the

		it in the centre and then
		pushing downwards on
