Saving energy when using your washer dryer o To prevent any possible waste of energy, water or detergent, we recommend that you put a full load in your washer dryer but without exceeding the recommended maximum load size.

Energy savings of 5% to 15% can be made by not selecting the pre-wash option for normal soiled laundry.
Stain removal rules o Use warm water for soaking or pre-washing stained laundry. Hot water can set stains. o Most stains are easier to remove when they are fresh. o Before treating any stain try to establish; what kind of stain it is, how old the stain is, what the fabric type is and whether the fabric is colourfast (check the care label to find this out). o Washing and drying can fix some stains. o When bleach is recommended, use a mild fabric bleach that is safe for the fabric.

Lay your clothes in cold water for 30 minutes. If the stain still does not disappear, lay in mixture of water and ammonia (3 table-spoons of ammonia in 4 litres of water) for 30 minutes. Lay your clothes in cold water and rub the stained area with detergent.
Maintenance and cleaning In daily use o Once a wash cycle has completed, you should pull out the detergent drawer slightly, so it can dry out. o Leave the porthole door ajar for a short while after a wash cycle has completed.

Then push the drawer fully back into position. The washer dryer drum The drum of your washer dryer is constructed from stainless steel. However if there are objects that can rust placed inside the drum, then it is possible for the drum to become stained.
Cleaning the filter o The washing machine is fitted with a special filter for catching large deposits which could block the discharge hose such as coins, buttons etc… so they can be easily retrieved. o Before removing the filter, it is recommended that you place a towel below the filter cap to collect any small amounts of water which are likely to be inside the pump. o To remove the filter you should turn it anti-clockwise until it stops in the vertical position as shown in the diagram opposite.
