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.
• The washer-dryer has a “Auto Clean” programme for its
internal parts that must be run with no load in the drum.
To help the wash cycle you may want to use either the
detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the quantity specified
for lightly-soiled garments) or special additives to clean
the washer-dryer. We recommend running a cleaning
programme every 40 wash cycles.
To start the programme press button A for 5 seconds (see
figure).
The programme will start automatically and will run for
about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle press the START/
PAUSE button.
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.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. using a screwdriver,
remove the cover panel on
the lower front part of the
washer-dryer (see figure);
2. unscrew the lid by
rotating it anti-clockwise
(see figure): a little water
may trickle out. This is
perfectly normal;
3. clean the inside thoroughly;
4. screw the lid back on;
5. reposition the panel, making sure the hooks are securely
in place before you push it onto 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.
