Washing Drum; Filling Door; Cleaning The Drain Pump - Electrolux EWF 1480 User Information

Washing Drum

The washing drum is made of high-quality stainless
steel. Rust deposits on the drum can occur due to
foreign bodies in the washing which can cause rust.
Attention! Do not clean the stainless steel drum with
acidic antiliming agents, scouring agents containing
chlorine or iron or steel wool. Our Customer Service
Department has suitable agents available.
Remove any rust deposits on the drum using a stain-
less steel cleaning agent.

Filling Door

Check regularly whether there are deposits or foreign
bodies in the rubber sleeve behind the filling door
and, if so, remove them.

Cleaning the drain pump

Paper clips, nails and so on can sometimes get into
the washing machine with the washing and remain in
the drain pump casing. Fluff and strands of fabric
can gather on these items and block the drain pump.
Therefore the drain pump should be cleaned at least
once a year.
Warning! Switch off the washing machine
