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.

Remove the dispenser
by raising it and pulling it
out (see figure).
Wash it under running
water; this operation
should be repeated
frequently.

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:
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.
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;
