Care and maintenance 

Cutting off the water and electricity 

supplies

• Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle. This wil  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, smal  items 
(such as coins or buttons) may fal  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.
