CLEANING THE DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
Pull out the detergent compartment as far as it
goes.
Then pull upwards and outwards as illustrated.
Flush and brush the detergent compartment.
Put the detergent compartment back in.
NOTE
Do not wash the detergent compartment in a
dishwasher.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE
Use a mild detergent to clean the outside of the
machine. Do not use any solvents, they can da-
mage the machine.
NOTE
Do not spray the machine with water.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE-
VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR
Today’s modern detergents mean that washing
at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe-
ver, this can result in small deposits forming
inside the machine. These can eventually lead
to odour problems.
To avoid these problems, we recommend run-
ning a 95° programme on a few occasions each
year. You should use a small quantity of deter-
gent at the same time. It is not necessary to fill
the machine with washing.
11 CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE COIN TRAP AND THE DRAIN PUMP
The washing machine has a trap in which coins,
hairpins and similar items fasten. Clean the coin
trap and the drain pump as follows:
1. Ensure that the machine is drained and the
main power switch is turned OFF.
2. Open the drain pump cover. Use the parti-
tion piece from
the detergent
compartment, as
illustrated.
3. Drain off the water, eg, in a bowl, by pulling
loose the drain
hose from its con-
nection on the in-
side of the cover.
4. Open the pump by turning its cover antic-
lockwise. Lift off
the cover together
with the coin trap.
5. Clean out any objects and foreign matter from
the pump housing.
Ensure that the
pump blade, at the
rear, can be rota-
ted.
6. Screw on the cover together with the coin
trap, put the drain
hose back on its
connection and
close the cover.
