Care and cleaning

Checking the trap and drainage
pump
The washing machine has a trap, where
coins, hairpins and the like can get caught.
To clean the filter and drainage pump:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water
and that it is switched off at the mains.
2. Open the hatch for the drainage pump as
shown in the illustration.
3. Drain out the water, into a bowl, for
example, by unhooking the drainage hose
from the pin inside the hatch.
4. Unscrew the cover anti-clockwise and
remove.
5. Remove any foreign objects from the trap
and pump assembly. Check to see that the
pump blades, right at the back, will rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage
hose on the hatch pin and close the hatch.
Cleaning the detergent
compartment
Pull the detergent compartment out as far as
it will go.
Then pull it up and out as shown in the
illustration.
Rinse the compartment and scrub it clean.
Replace the compartment.
Note!
Do not run the detergent compartment
through a dishwasher!

Cleaning the outside of the machine

Clean the outside of the machine and the
program panel with a mild cleaner. Do not use
any solvents, as these can damage the
machine.
Note!
Do not hose down or spray the machine with
water.
