Hotpoint WD440 Washer/Dryer User Manual


 
Cleaning the door bowl
Clean the internal surface of the door bowl regularly
with a soft cloth. A build up of soap powder and water
hardness residue may result in water leaking from the
door.
Always leave the appliance door ajar to prevent
unpleasant odours from forming.
Checking the water inlet hoses
Check the water fill hoses at least once a year. If you
see any cracks, replace them immediately:
during the wash cycles, high water pressure could
cause a cracked hose to split open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
Care and maintenance
Switching off the electricity
Turn off the water tap after every wash. This will
limit the wear of your appliances water system
and also prevent leaks.
Unplug your appliance when cleaning it and
during all maintenance operations.
Cleaning
Cleaning the exterior
Use a damp cloth or silicon polish to clean the exterior
surfaces of the appliance.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer and compartments
It is advisable to clean the dispenser drawer regularly.
! Do not try to clean any part of the dispenser drawer
while the machine is running.
1. Pull out the drawer until it reaches its stop.
2. Press the drawer release
button to remove the dispenser
drawer (see pic).
3. Clean and dry the dispenser
drawer, syphons, grate and
fabric conditioner exit channel
(A). Also regularly clean the
outlet pipe area (B).
4. Relocate the dispenser drawer and push it firmly
back into place.
! Do not clean any part of the machine with abrasive
cleaners, scouring agents, acids, any bleach or metal
polish as they may cause damage.
! We recommend a maintenance wash 2 or 3 times a
year, to avoid a build up of greasy deposits and
water hardness residue. Run Programme B, without
laundry and without detergent.
Where the drying only option is regularly used, do
this on a monthly basis.
