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 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 to remove any residues.
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
running a 95° programme on a few occasions
