Cleaning
Surface of the washing machine
Use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive household detergent. Do not spray water onto the washing machine.
Debris filter
It is advisable to clean the debris filter 5 or 6 times a year to prevent its clogging. A clogged debris filter may reduce the bubble effect.
1. Turn off the washing machine, and unplug the power cord.
2. Drain the remaining water inside the drum by referring to “Emergency drain” on page 40.
3. Gently press the top area of the filter cover to open.
4. Turn the debris filter cap to the left, and drain off the remaining water.
5. Remove the debris filter.
6. Clean the debris filter using soft brushes. Make sure the drain pump propeller inside the filter is unclogged.
7. Reinsert the debris filter, and turn the filter cap to the right.
NOTE
• To open the safety filter cap, push in and turn it anticlockwise. The spring of the cap helps to open the cap.
• To close the safety filter cap, turn it clockwise. The spring makes a rattling sound, which is normal.
