Care and Maintenance

The washing machine does not require special care; however, to best ensure a long life, certain precautions are recommended (see page 3).

WARNING! Before performing the operations described below, make sure that the power is off and the unit is unplugged.

CLEANING THE DETERGENT DRAWER

The drawer should be cleaned periodically with a damp, slightly soapy cloth.

CAUTION: Never clean the door with cleaning solvents or abrasive cleansers. You could damage the finish.

You can remove the drawer completely by pressing on the plastic part of the softener compartment marked “PUSH” (Fig. 10). Clean the drawer with a soft brush under warm running water.

CLEANING THE LINT FILTER

The lint filter should be cleaned about once a month. Make sure the washer has drained before opening the filter door.

1.Place a pan or towel under the filter door (Fig. 11), since a small amount of water could spill.

2.Remove the filter by turning it a half turn counterclockwise and pulling outwards (Fig. 12).

3.Clean the filter with a soft brush under running water until all residue is removed.

4.Replace the filter and turn it clockwise until it is securely locked in place (Fig. 13). Give the cap a gentle tug to confirm that the filter is in securely.

CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL

To clean the control panel, use only a warm, damp cloth. To prevent penetration of liquid into the door lock and electrical components, never spray water or cleaning solvents on the control panel. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish and could remove the writing on the control panel. Some paper towels may also scratch the finish.
