Care and Cleaning, continued
For Other Inside Cleaning
• Dry around the appliance door opening, fl exible gasket,
and door glass. These areas should always be clean to
ensure a water tight seal.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty
residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping
the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse
thoroughly with water.
• Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the fl exible
gasket to remove lint and other debris.
• The plastic drum vanes may become stained from fabric
dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
Cleaning The Dispenser Drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should
be cleaned regularly:
• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it
stops. (Figure 1)
• Reach back into the left rear corner of the drawer cavity
and press down fi rmly on the lock tab (left rear portion of
the drawer). Pull out the drawer. (Figure 2). (Lock tab is
visible only after drawer has been pulled out).

• Remove the insert from the bleach and fabric softener
compartments. (Figure 3)
• Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap water to re-
move traces of accumulated powders and liquids. Large
amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate improper
dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.

• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean
the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower
parts of the recess. (Figure 4)
• Replace the insert pressing the "X" to lock it in place.
• Return the dispenser drawer.
External Cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit,
the water inlet fi lter may become clogged. It is therefore a
good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean
the fi lter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
The dangers of freezing
If the appliance is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, cer-
tain precautions should be taken.
• Pull out the plug from the power socket;
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the inlet hose in a bowl placed on the
fl oor and let water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on again.
• When you intend to start the appliance up again, make
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
