Easy Care and Maintenance
Treat your machine well and it will provide
many years of trouble free service
Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.
Your washer-dryer is designed
to provide reliable service over
many years. A few simple steps
will help to extend its life and
avoid problems. It is advisable
to turn off water faucets when
the machine is not in use. This
protects the hoses, etc.
If the water in your area is
hard, use a water softener
(hard water often leaves white
stains around taps or drains,
especially in bath tubs. For
more accurate information
about the type of water in the
system, call your local water
utility).
Pockets must always be
emptied, removing pins,
badges, coins, or any other
hard objects.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
The washer-dryer exterior
should be cleaned with a rag
dipped in lukewarm water and
soap. Do not use polish of any
kind on the plastic trim. Some
polishes contain agents which
can damage plastics.
Cleaning the interior
If you live an area where
phosphate detergents are
banned, it may be necessary
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small
objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons, etc. To avoid possible damage, they are
withheld in an accessible coin trap, located at the bottom right end of the machine.

The water inlet hose
Check the rubber hoses at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace the hose immediately. When you use your washer-
dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open. Superior quality Stainless Steel hoses are
also available for purchase.

to recondition the washer
periodically. Because a non-
phosphate detergent must be
used, body oils and detergent
may accumulate in the washer
tub. This is particularly evident
in hard water areas or in
homes where heavily soiled
garments
are
regularly
laundered. To remove this
build-up, run the washer
through a complete cycle
using hot water and 2 cups of
a non precipitating water
conditioner. Do not add any
clothes, detergent, or other
laundry aids.
Once the accumulation has
been removed, your laundry
should be satisfactory if you
follow
the
preventive
suggestions in this owner's
manual.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
After washing is complete the
water faucets should be turned
off to relieve water pressure on
the hoses.
Wipe the inside of the door with
a soft cloth to remove any
remaining
moisture.
Periodically, a thin coat of pa-
ste wax should be applied to
the inner door or the washer;
Attention: Before attempting to examine this coin trap, first ensure
that the machine has finished its program and is empty. Unplug
the machine, as with any maintenance.
To gain access, gently ease down the top of the kick plate panel at
the base of the machine with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then
ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1).
Place a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to
catch any water that might be present. Open the cover by turning
it counter-clockwise (Fig. 2). When finished cleaning, ensure that
the cover is securely tightened.
Re-fit the kick plate cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge
into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.
especially to the area which
is immediately next to the
door window. This will protect
the door finish from laundry

spills
and
any
discoloration which may
results of these spills.
Clear the Coin Trap
Clear the coin trap in case of
blockage. For instructions,
please read the section
below.
Never add
too much
detergent.
Detergents already contain
deliming agents. Only if the
water is particularly hard, that
is, rich in lime content, do we
recommend the use of a
specific product at every
wash.
A periodical wash cycle with
a dose of a deliming product,
without
detergents
washing, may prove useful.
Never
use
too
much
detergent or additives
because this could cause
excessive sudsing, scaling,
and possible damage to
components
in
your
washer-dryer.
It is important to wash
the detergent dispenser
regularly.
To prevent dried washing
powder from
accumulating, place the
dispenser under running
water for a few minutes.
Use only low-sudsing deter-
gents.

Do not forget to empty all
pockets:
small objects can cause
serious damage to your
washer-dryer !
