Cleaning and care

Cleaning the siphon and softener channel

1. Pull the siphon out of the compartment and rinse under warm running water. Clean the siphon tube the same way.

2. Replace the siphon.

Clean the fabric softener channel with warm water and a brush.

If liquid starch is used often, the siphon and fabric softener channel will need to be thoroughly cleaned. Liquid starch can cause a build-up and clogging.

Cleaning the detergent drawer housing

Use a bottle brush to remove any detergent residue and lime deposits from the jets inside the detergent drawer.
