Cutting off the water and

electricity supplies

 

To access the pre-chamber:

• 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.

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 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.

!Never use second-hand hoses.
