6.2 CLEANING THE LINT FILTER
Lint is a collection of threads and
fluff which comes off your clothes
during washing. Your washing
machine collects this lint in the lint
filter. It is important to clean out this
lint filter preferably after each wash.
How to clean the lint filter:
1.
Turn the Program Selector
knob to the position "Off".
Switch off the electricity at the
power point.
Turn off the water taps. This will
extend the life of the inlet hoses.
Leave lid open for a while. This
allows time for moisture inside
the washing machine to
evaporate and for any odours
to disperse.
Remove the softener dispenser
cup and filter
column from
the centre
of the agitator.
2. Unclip the filter bag from the
column.
3. Turn the bag inside out and
remove the lint.
4. Wash the filter bag and
dispenser cup in water.
5. Reassemble the filter to
the column and place it
back in the centre of the
agitator.
6.3 CLEANING THE DISPENSER
The dispenser needs to be cleaned
regularly, preferably after each
wash. Inspect the dispenser after
each wash to see if there is any
residue of detergent.
To do this proceed as follows :
1. Remove dispenser drawer from
its places.
2. Clean the dispenser drawer
with water and a brush, eg. an
old toothbrush.
3. Dry the drawer.
