Cleaning the pump pre-chamber

The washer-dryer is fitted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require regular maintenance. However, if small items (such as coins or buttons) fall into the pre-chamber that protects the pump, you will need to retrieve them.

No lint filter to clean

Your Splendide removes the lint automatically with the help of it’s self-cleaning pump, so there’s no lint filter to clean. However, it is recommended that you occasionally inspect the outside vent and dryer ducting for any lint accumulation (see below).

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.

To access the pre-chamber:

1Using a screwdriver, remove the cover panel on the lower front of the washer-dryer.

2Place a small dish or tray below the cover. Unscrew the pre-chamber by rotating it counter clockwise. A little water may trickle out. This is perfectly normal.

3Clean the interior thoroughly.

4Screw the pre-chamber back on.

5Reposition the panel, making sure the tabs are positioned correctly before you push the panel back onto the appliance.

Checking the dryer vent

Occasionally go outside and check the dryer vent for proper airflow. Assure that the vent and ducting are lint-free.
