11 CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE COIN TRAP AND THE DRAIN PUMP
The washing machine has a trap in which coins, hairpins and similar items fasten. Clean the coin trap and the drain pump as follows:
1. Ensure that the machine is drained and the main power switch is turned OFF.
2. Open the drain pump cover. Use the parti- tion piece from
the detergent compartment, as illustrated.
3. Drain off the water, eg, in a bowl, by pulling loose the drain
hose from its con- nection on the in- side of the cover.
4. Open the pump by turning its cover antic- lockwise. Lift off
the cover together with the coin trap.
5. Clean out any objects and foreign matter from the pump housing.
Ensure that the pump blade, at the
rear, can be rota- ted.
6. Screw on the cover together with the coin trap, put the drain
hose back on its connection and close the cover.
CLEANING THE DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
Pull out the detergent compartment as far as it goes.
Then pull upwards and outwards as illustrated.
Flush and brush the detergent compartment. Put the detergent compartment back in.
NOTE
Do not wash the detergent compartment in a dishwasher.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE MACHINE
Use a mild detergent to clean the outside of the machine. Do not use any solvents, they can da- mage the machine.
NOTE
Do not spray the machine with water.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE TO PRE-
VENT PROBLEMS WITH ODOUR
Today’s modern detergents mean that washing at low temperatures is often sufficient. Howe- ver, this can result in small deposits forming inside the machine. These can eventually lead to odour problems.
To avoid these problems, we recommend run- ning a 95° programme on a few occasions each year. You should use a small quantity of deter- gent at the same time. It is not necessary to fill the machine with washing.
