Care and maintenance instructions

Cleaning the trap and the drain
pump
The washing machine has a trap where small
items such as coins, buttons, and hairpins can
collect. To clean the trap and the drain pump, do
as follows:
1. Make sure the machine is empty of water and
switched off at the main power switch.
2. Open the door.
3. Unhook the drain hose from the connector
inside the door and drain the water into a
suitable container, such as a shallow bowl.
4. Turn the cover counter-clockwise to open the
pump. Remove the cover.
5. Remove any items and debris from the pump
housing and cover. Also check that the pump
impellers at the back rotate.
6. Screw on the cover, replace the drainage hose
on the hatch pin, and close the hatch.
Cleaning the detergent
compartment
NOTE!
Do not wash the detergent compartment or the
insert in a dishwasher!
Open the detergent compartment and remove the
insert. Rinse the insert and scrub it clean with a
dish brush. Wipe up any detergent left inside the
detergent compartment. Replace the insert in the
detergent compartment.

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 the machine with water!
Cleaning the inside of the machine
to avoid unpleasant smells
Modern detergents often allow laundry to be
washed at low temperatures. This means that
small deposits can build up in the machine. These,
in turn, may lead to unpleasant odors developing.
To avoid this, we recommend running a 194 °F
(90 °C) wash program once a month. When you
do this, use a small quantity of detergent. It is not
necessary to put any laundry in the machine.
