Cleaning and Care

Vent grille

^Regularly check and clean the wash water vent grille at the rear of the machine.

Rust

The drum and the wash water drum are made of stainless steel. Water with a high iron content or items like paper clips or iron buttons which are in the laundry, can lead to rust in the drums.

^To help prevent rust, a conditioner for stainless steel can be used.

^Check the door gasket for iron residue and clean with stainless steel conditioner.

^Clean regularly.

Leave the drum door open after use for the interior to air dry.

Water inlet filters

^Regularly check and clean the filters in the water intake valves, 1, and the water intake hoses, 2.

Maintenance during downtime

^When the machine is not used for an extended time (4 weeks or more), the drum needs to be rotated manually a couple of times to prevent bearing damage. Repeat every month.
