drum.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing
machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.
Cleaning the outside of the washing machine
Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine.
Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar

Checking the water supply hose
Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged,
replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or
your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type: If the inlet hose has
a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If
yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced
Cleaning the mesh filters in the water supply hose
Close the tap and loosen the inlet hose on the tap. Clean the internal
mesh filter and screw the water inlet hose back onto the tap. Now
unscrew the inlet hose on the rear of the washing machine. Pull off the
mesh filter from the washing machine connection with universal pliers
and clean it. Refit the mesh filter and screw the inlet hose on again. Turn
on the tap and ensure that the connections are completely water-tight.
Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water
If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down
before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that
the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter. If
the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be
clogged.
Remove the plinth by using the screwdriver: push downwards one side
of the plinth with your hand, then push the screwdriver into the gap
between plinth and front panel and pry open the plinth. Place a broad,
flat container beneath the water filter, to collect the drain water. Slowly
turn the filter counterclockwise until water flows out. Let the water flow
out, without removing the filter. When the container is full, close the
water filter by turning it in clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat this
procedure until all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the
water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove
