Energy saving hints
General maintenance
After every wash
Leave the door open and wipe the door gasket dry after
each wash so that damp or odours do not form.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or servicing always remove the plug from
the socket. This is for safety reasons.
No solvents or abrasive substance
You do not need solvents or abrasive substances to clean
the outside of the washer-dryer and the rubber parts. Just
use a cloth, warm water and soap.
Detergent dispenser
drawer
This can be removed and
cleaned. Just pull it towards
you, as shown in the diagram,
and leave it under running
water for a few minutes.
Unplug the machine when you go away
It’s best to unplug the machine when you go away, turn off
the water supply and leave the machine door open or ajar.
The drum and rubber door lining will dry and no unpleasant
odours will form inside.
When moving house
When you move, all you need to do is secure the inside of
the machine with the transit screws (supplied with the
packaging of the machine) so that it will not be damaged.
Cleaning and special servicing
Hose
Check the hose once a year. It should be replaced if any
signs of splitting or damage can be seen. The machine is
under a lot of strain while operating and this may cause a
cracked hose to split open suddenly.
Inspecting the drain pump
Your washer-dryer has a self-cleaning pump and therefore
requires no cleaning or mainteannce. Remember however
that small items such as buttons or coins may accidentally
fall into the pump. To remove these items, the pump comes
equipped with an "prechamber" which is accessible from
the front of the pump. To gain access to this prechamber
simply remove the panel located on the bottom part of the
washer-dryer (figure 1), place it on the ground near the
machine (figure 2), and remove the lid by turning it in the
counter clockwise direction. Carefully inspect the inside of
the pump.
Important: before removing the lid check that the wash
cycle has ended and unplug the washer-dryer from the mains.
It is normal for a small quantity of water to spill out once the
lid is removed. The panel positioned at the base of the
machine will catch the water that spills out. Remember to
shut the lid firmly when you replace it.
- Try to wash complete laundry loads: this saves unnecessary
consumption of water and energy.
- Select the right programme for your laundry: this will
obviously depend on the type of fabric and how soiled your
laundry is; we recommend the use of programmes without
prewash which will save you time, water and energy. The
prewash cycle should in fact be used only for heavily soiled,
cotton fabrics.
- Set the right temperature: use temperatures above 60°C
only for very stubborn dirt but remember that modern
detergents are very efficient even at low temperatures.
- Use the correct quantities of detergent: do not use too
much detergent; remember that not only will this make
rinsing more difficult but also pollutes the enviroment.
- Use the economy buttons: when washing small laundry
loads use the Economy button if available on your washer-
dryer and reduce the detergent quantity.
- Your washer-dryer features automatic consumption control,
this means that you can wash laundry loads from 1 - 5 kg
with considerable savings. Your washer-dryer will use just
the right amount of water and electricity. All you need to do
is dose the detergent.
- Fabric softeners: always use a softener; not only do these
perfume and soften your laundry, they also make it easy to
iron, saving you time.
