Care and cleaning
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.
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.
