Easy Care and Maintenance
nCheck the Water Inlet Hoses
Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,
wear, or leaks are found. Remove and clean the filters and
the water valves (Fig. 12). Replace inlet hoses as needed
to reduce the risk of hose failure.
IMPORTANT: Replace inlet hoses at least every five
years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Inspect
and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts or leaks
are found. NOTE: When replacing your inlet hoses, mark
the date of replacement on the label with a permanent
marker.

nWhen Needed, Check the Pump
Your washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump
that does not require regular cleaning and maintenance.
However, small objects may accidentally fall into the pump:
coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To
avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible
pre-chamber at the lower end of the pump.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to examine this pre-
chamber, first ensure that the machine has finished its
program and is empty. As with any maintenance,
unplug the machine.
• To gain access, gently ease down the top of the toe-kick
panel (at the base of the front of the machine) with a
screwdriver or similar item to release it. Then ease the top
edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig.13).
• Place a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-
chamber to catch the small amount of water present.
Release the cover by turning counter-clockwise (Fig 14).
Remove any items or debris.
• Securely replace the cover by turning clockwise. Refit the
toe-kick panel by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into
the slots and ease the top edge back into position.
