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 in the machine and help to prevent leaks.

•Unplug the appliance when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the machine

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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

To remove the drawer, press

1 lever (1) and pull the drawer

outwards (2) (see figure). Wash it under running water; this procedure should be repeated frequently.

1.take off the cover panel on the front of the machine by first pressing it in the centre and then pushing downwards on both sides until you can remove it (see figures);

2.position a container so that it will collect the water which

flows out (approximately 1.5 l) (see figure);

3. unscrew the lid by rotating it in an anti-clockwise direction (see figure);

4.clean the inside thoroughly;

5.screw the lid back on;

6.reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely in place before you push it onto the appliance.

Caring for your appliance drum

•Always leave the door ajar 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 protective pre- chamber at the base of the pump.

!Make sure the wash cycle has finished and unplug 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.
