and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washer-dryer when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.

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 rota-
ting it anti-clockwise (see
figure): a little water may
trickle out. This is perfectly
