Checking the filter and drain pump
The washing machine has a filter, where
coins, hairpins, and the like can get caught.
To clean the filter and drain pump:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water
and that it is switched off at the main power
switch.
2. Open the hatch for the drain pump as
shown in the illustration.
3. Drain out the water, into a bowl, for exam-
ple, by unhooking the drainage hose from
the pin inside the hatch.
4. Open the pump by unscrewing the cover
counterclockwise. Remove the cover with
the filter.
5. Remove any objects or debris from the
pump housing. Check to see that the pump
impellers at the back will rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage
hose on the hatch pin, and close the hatch.
Cleaning the detergent
compartment
Open the detergent compartment and lift out
the insert. Rinse it and scrub it clean with a
dish brush. 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
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
any solvents, as these can damage the ma-
chine.
Note!
Do not hose down or spray the machine with
water.
Cleaning the inside of the machine
to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow laundry to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine.
These, in turn, may lead to unpleasant odors
developing.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 203°F
(95°C) wash program once a month. When
you do this, use a small quantity of detergent.
It is not necessary to put any laundry in the
machine.
