Margherita is a washer-dryer designed to last a lifetime without any problems. A few simplestepshelpkeepitinshape andlastlonger.Firstly,youmust close the water tap after each wash: the constant pressure of water could warp a few of the componentparts.

In addition, by doing so, you will avoid the risk of leaks when no- one is at home.

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. Formoreaccurateinformationas to the type of water in your system, call the local water works or a local plumber).

Pocketsmustalwaysbeemptied removing even pins, badges and any other hard object.

Thewasher-dryerexteriorshould be cleaned with a rag dipped in lukewarmwaterandsoap.

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.

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.

Neverusetoomuchdetergentor additivesbecausethiscouldcau- se an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washer-dryer.

Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause damage to your friend Margherita.

When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.

Margherita comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance.

The rubber 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.
