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 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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pulling

it out (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation

should be repeated

frequently.

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.
