Checking the filter and drainage
pump
The washing machine has a filter, where
coins, hairpins and the like can get caught.
To clean the filter and drainage pump:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water
and that it is switched off at the mains.
2. Open the drainage
pump hatch. Use the
partition for the detergent
compartment as shown in
the picture.
3. Drain out the water, into
a bowl, for example, by
unhooking the drainage
hose from the pin inside
the hatch.
4. Open the pump by
screwing the cover anti-
clockwise. Remove the
cover with the filter.
5. Remove any objects
or rubbish from the
pump housing. Check
to see that the pump
blades, right at the back, will rotate.
6. Screw on the cover
and filter, replace the
drainage hose on the
hatch pin and close the
hatch.
Care and cleaning
Cleaning the detergent
compartment
Pull the detergent compartment out as far
as it will go.
Then pull it up and out as shown in the illus-
tration. Rinse the detergent compartment
and brush it clean.
Replace the compartment.
Note!
Do not run the detergent compartment
through a dishwasher!
Cleaning the outside of the
machine
Clean the outside of the machine and the
programme panel with a mild cleaner. Do
not use any solvents, as these can damage
the machine.
Note!
Do not hose down or spray the machine
with water.
Cleaning the inside of the machine
to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern washing detergents often allow
washing at low temperatures. This means,
however, that small deposits can build up
in the machine. These, in turn, may lead to
unpleasant smells developing.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 95°
wash programme now and again. When you
do this, use a small quantity of detergent. It
is not necessary to put any actual washing
in the machine.
