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. 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. 1 2 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 is equipped with a self-cleaning pump, and, therefore, does not require maintenance or cleaning. However, certain types of objects might find their way into the pump (e.g. buttons, coins, etc.). Since they are too large to be expelled through the drain pipe, they will be trapped in the “antechamber” of the pump, which is accessible from the front of the pump itself. To gain access to this compartment, simply remove the finishing strip on the base of the cabinet (Fig. 1), remove the Z screw (Fig. 2) with a screwdriver and take off the cover of the pump. Then carefully inspect the interior. Caution: Before removing the cover, make sure that the wash cycle has finished completely. Then, turn off the machine by, switching the ON/OFF button I to the O setting. It is normal for a small quantity of water to escape after the cover has been removed.When you replace the cover, make sure that it is closed tightly. GB 8 Z Z Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Trouble shooting If the machine does not seem to be working properly before calling the service engineer there are a number of things you can check. Perhaps you have forgotten to push in a button or you are not using the machine properly. Machine won't start Make sure: the appliance is plugged to the mains socket; you have electricity in your home, the door is firmly shut, the ON/OFF button I is on I, the programming cycle knob, in washer- dryers which have one, is on O, the programme is properly set and the mains water tap is open. Machine won't fill Make sure: the water tap is open and connected correctly to the hose; the water mains has not been cut off and that water pressure is sufficient; also check the hose for kinks. Water is pumping in and out all the time Make sure: there are no kinks in the drain pipe and that it is at least at a height greater than 60 cm; the pipe mouth is not below water level and that the wall drain has no air outlet. If the problems continue even after you have checked these points, shut the water tap and turn off your machine. Problems with pumping out water or spinning Make sure: the programme selected has a draining cycle; the non creasing "hydropstop" button, on washer-dryers which have one, has not been pressed accidentally; the drainage pump is not jammed; the drain pipe is bent; the drainage piping is plugged; any drainage pipe extensions are properly connected and do not prevent water flow. The washer-dryer is not drying Make sure: the plug is inserted properly into the socket; there is electricity in the house; the washer-dryer door is closed; the ON-OFF button I is on the I setting; the programming cycle knob, in Removing limescale Water contains increasing amounts of limescale because of pollution.
