The water inlet filters prevent impurities and foreign objects from entering the machine.
It is advisable to clean these filters when, despite an efficient water supply and with the
tap open, the water flow to the machine no longer seems to be sufficient. We recom-
mend cleaning these filters every 2 months.
• Unscrew the water inlet hose from the washer-dryer.
• To remove the filter mounted on the water inlet valve, use a long pair of pliers to
gently pull the plastic bar inside the filter.
• A second filter is mounted on the end of the water inlet pipe to be connected to the
tap. To remove the second filter, use long nose pliers to gently pull the plastic bar
inside the filter.
• Carefully clean the filter with a soft brush and wash with soapy water, then rinse
thoroughly.Insert the filter again with light pressure.
WARNING: Filters mounted on the water inlet valve are prone to clogging due to
poor water quality or lack of maintenance. This may result in a water leak. Such inci-
dents are not covered by the warranty.
Detergent drawer
The use of detergent may cause a residual build-up in the detergent drawer over time,
therefore it is advisable to remove the detergent drawer every 2 months to remove the
accumulated residues.
To remove the detergent drawer:
• Pull on the tray until it is fully extended.
• Gently press the tab in the detergent drawer (as shown in the figure above) and pull
the detergent drawer out of its housing.
• Clean the tank with a soft brush and water.
• If the detergent drawer housing has residues, remove them with a soft brush. Take
care to prevent any residues from falling into the machine.
• Carefully dry the detergent drawer, then replace it in the compartment provided for
this purpose.
