Care and maintenance

Cleaning the washing machine

•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.

•ThewashingmachinehasaAuto-Clean

programme for its internal parts that must be

run with no load in the drum.

To help the wash cycle you may want to use

either the detergent (i.e. a quantity 10% the

quantity specified for lightly-soiled garments)

or special additives to clean the washing

machine. We recommend running a cleaning

programme every 40 wash cycles.

It can be activated in the following two ways:

- press the button on the control panel then

press the SELECTOR twice.

- turn the SELECTOR until it is on the icon

of the SERVICES menu, press it to enter the

sub-menu, then turn it until it is on the icon

and press it two times.

Descaling Cycle

A message on the display will remind the user

to periodically run the descaling treatment,

using a special detergent.

In order to identify the most suitable descaling

product for your washing machine (WPRO),

access wpro.eu.

The descaling cycle allows for keeping the

machine’s components (drum, pipes) clean.

Whenever necessary, the display will visualise

the following notice: “Descaling cycle recom-

mended. Remind me later?” / .

If the question is answered affirmatively, the

message will appear at the end of the cycle

or when the machine is switched on the next

time. In case of a negative answer, the mes-

sage will not reappear for the successive 100

cycles (the counter is reset).

For information on how to run the cycle, follow

the instructions appearing on the package of

the descaling product.

Caring for the door and drum of

your appliance

•Alwaysleavetheportholedoorajarinorder

to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

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.

Cutting off the water and electri-

city supplies

•Turnoffthewatertapaftereverywashcycle.

This will limit wear on the hydraulic system in-

side the washing machine and help to prevent

leaks.

•Unplugthewashingmachinewhencleaning

it and during all maintenance work.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

drawer

Remove the dispenser

by raising it and pul-

ling it out (see figure).

Wash it under running

water; this operation

should be repeated

frequently.

Cleaning the pump

The washing machine is fitted with a auto-clean

pump which does not require any maintenan-

ce. 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:

1. using a screwdri-

ver, remove the cover

panel on the lower

front part of the wa-

shing machine (see

figure);

2. unscrew the lid

by rotating it anti-

clockwise (see figu-

re): a little water may

trickle out. This is

perfectly normal;

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.
