12 CARE AND CLEANING

CHECKING 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 main power switch is turned OFF.

2. Using the parti- tion piece for liquid detergent, open the drain pump cover as illus-

trated.

3. Drain off the wa-

ter, eg, in a bowl, by pulling loose the drain hose on the inside of the

cover.

4. Open the pump by turning its cover antic- lockwise. Lift off

the cover and coin trap.

5. Clean out any objects and foreign matter from the pump housing. Ensure that the pump blade, at the rear, can be rotated.

6. Screw on the cover and coin trap, put the drain hose back

on the cover lug and close the co-

ver.

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 running a 95° programme on a few occasions
